The Museum of Loss and Renewal

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, creative retreats and publishing activities.

The Individual Residency Programmes, Group Residency Programmes and Creative Retreats take place in Italy and in Scotland's Orkney Islands, providing 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), Antonio Forte (art, composition, music), Maree Hensey (drawing, collaboration, facilitation), Esméemilja Mackenna (art, ecology, disability, accessibilty), Fernanda Aránguiz M. (art, curating, publishing), and Hilary Nicoll (archives, collections, object-memory).
