About
The Museum of Loss and Renewal is an art project that stimulates people to take time in which to generate and share thoughts, feelings and ideas. This happens through its residency programmes, and publishing activities.
The Individual Residency Programme Italy, Group Residency Programme Italy and Group Residency Programme Orkney provide space and contexts for making and sharing.
It is nurtured by artist, curator, educator and publisher Tracy Mackenna, with Associates Steve Dutton (art, curating, academia), Esméemilja Mackenna (art, ecology, disability, accessibilty), Giovanna MacKenna (Poet in Residence 2025), Fernanda Aránguiz M. (art, curating, publishing), Hilary Nicoll (archives, collections, object-memory) and Sanne Vermij (community, production, sustainability).
Since 2017, more than 300 residents have been welcomed, hosted, mentored and supported. Each is now a part of The Museum of Loss and Renewal.
