Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Kathleen Ritter is a Canadian/Irish visual artist, writer, researcher, and curator whose interdisciplinary practice spans photography, drawing, sound, video, and text. Her work critically engages with alternate and overlooked histories, focusing on systems of power, language, and technology, and how these structures shape collective memory and contemporary experience. Born in Canada of settler Anglo-Irish and German descent, Ritter lived and worked for years on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm, Skwxwú7mesh and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh peoples, where she was active as an artist and cultural organizer. Her work has been exhibited widely in Canada and internationally. In 2020, her public artwork Gaslight was installed in downtown Vancouver. She is currently based in Paris.
