About the residency

The Museum of Loss and Renewal is a peripatetic institution founded by artists Tracy Mackenna and Edwin Janssen, operating nomadically across sites such as the Orkney Islands. Its ethos centers on process, dialogue, and the poetics of everyday life, treating loss and renewal as generative forces rather than fixed themes. The museum functions as a framework for collaborative inquiry, where residencies and exhibitions emerge from sustained engagement with place, community, and materiality.

Planning your application

Approach with a project that is genuinely responsive to context and open to collaborative development. The museum favors proposals that engage with the specificities of place, memory, and transformation, and that demonstrate a willingness to work at a contemplative pace. Avoid generic exhibition proposals; instead, articulate how your practice intersects with the museum's core concerns and how you might contribute to a shared process of inquiry.
