Theme:
“WORLD CITIES”
Theme of the residencies for Mediterranean artists
in PARIS – 2023/2024
Artémed, a cultural association based in Paris, chose the theme of these “Parisian residencies” for visual artists of Mediterranean nationality in order to question the notions of “world cities” and “cities of refuge”.
The world’s great cities are a melting pot of human thought, activity and achievement. They are places of encounter and crossroads, where the great opportunities for human, social, societal, architectural, urban, artistic and cultural achievement are to be found.
Like those of Paris or the Mediterranean basin, they are also open doors to foreigners from every horizon and to experiences of all kinds.
They offer the greatest professional and other opportunities and bring together human enterprises of every kind, large and small. They thus attract people from neighbouring regions, from the provinces and from other countries, in search of an “elsewhere” full of promise.
These great cities are also “cities of refuge” for intellectuals, artists, political opponents, and people from other countries or cities fleeing conflict, who seek a measure of security there and plan short or long stays in a peaceful, reassuring setting.
This artist residency asks participants to create works inspired by the city that evoke the “urban fact” or “urban making” in their physical, plastic, material, spiritual, human, psychological and social dimensions…
The works will be presented in exhibitions in Paris and Beirut, “world cities” par excellence.
