This program aims to offer a new professional springboard to women photographers from the French scene with a minimum of ten years of professional experience who reside outside the Île-de-France region and are not represented by a gallery in Paris. Five women photographers will be selected per year for a three-month residency.
While women photographers account for nearly 60% of students in leading photography schools, their representation in the profession declines as their careers progress. This dropout rate is primarily explained by women's departure from the professional environment when they become mothers, difficulties in traveling for work, and limited access to production studio facilities. Studies also show that women photographers are less confident in presenting their work or applying for opportunities. This residency continues the commitment to address this lack of representation.
The 'Elles & Cité' residency program at the Cité internationale des arts, located in the heart of Paris, aims to facilitate mobility and support research and professional network expansion for mid-career women photographers. The program offers specialized support, professional networking opportunities, and a three-month residency in Paris, accompanied by financial support. There is no obligation to produce work during the residency.
