Designed as a recurring programme since 2021, the residency features an annual theme to foster deeper cultural exchange between France and Hong Kong.

With the focus on the intersection of body and technology, 2026’s edition will bring together two artists for a cross-cultural exchange between Paris and Hong Kong to explore how technologies shape perception and embodiment.

After that, the artist will have15 days to one month of support from the cneai= team at La Maison Fleuve (L’Île-Saint-Denis) to realise work for the 2027 exhibition.
