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.

Cinema

Deicy Sanches is a French movie director and artistic director, of Cape Verdean origin. She holds a Master’s degree in Arts, Literature and Languages, with a specialization in Cinema and Audiovisual from the University of Paris Nanterre.

Attracted by art, her creativity expresses itself through directing, dancing and staging. Because of her heritage and her sensitivity, she is interested in the question of identity, colonization and double culture in her film projects. She pays particular attention to archival images, their documentary value and their memorial dimension.

She has been practicing hip-hop dance for the past fifteen years, and she also addresses subjects related to hip-hop culture, dance and clothing. After training with dancers and choreographers Thierry Anoman and Francis Mbida, she developed her dance independently and combined it with her film practice. In 2020, she wrote and directed the film Envahisseurs about hip-hop dance and the notion of circle, which she exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, as part of the Audi talents program.

As a filmmaker, her desire is to develop a singular view of the world, to appropriate it in a subjective way, by filming reality through her “presence-in-the-world”.

Visual arts

Alfeo Sanches Pereira (Alfe RM) was born in Tutuala, in the far East of Timor-Leste. His mother taught him how to draw to keep him by her side as she wove Tais, the traditional textile of his country. They were in the grip of a brutal Indonesian occupation (1975 – 1999). As his country gained Independence, Alfe was trying to complete his severely interrupted secondary education. He had limited options until he heard about the new Arte Moris free art school which became his home from 2004 to 2010. Alfe is a visual artist practicing painting, illustration, sculpture and street art. His art has been part of many struggles for social justice and sovereignty in Timor-Leste, which is still coming to terms with 500+ years of colonisation, occupation and foreign intervention. He has refined his practice through festivals and cultural exchanges around the world and solo and collective exhibitions in Dili, Switzerland, France, Macau and Australia.
