Event Summary

Welcome to all creative practitioners and researchers interested in making, thinking and being in experimental ways. This Group Residency will take you out and about in Orkney, introduce you to the impact of climate crisis, to vast skies and the archipelago that has long been shaped by the sea.

Event Description

Residency dates: 20th - 27th June 2026

Deadline: 1st March 2026

Address: Palace Village, Birsay, Orkney KW17 2LX

MICRO-MACRO has been devised around the relationships of 'Air, Sea and Soil', encompassing the Orkney Islands' remarkable natural environment.

The Group Residency will be lead by Tracy Mackenna, Curator of The Museum of Loss and Renewal and facilitated by Tracy and programme contributors. A range of multidisciplinary Orkney-based discipline experts who hold precious knowledge of archaeological sites, spatial and local history past and present, and collecting and presenting, will contribute to bespoke sessions.

The residency is offered for practitioners and researchers working in all creative disciplines and for those who have a strong interest in the investigation of site and place.

The aim of the Group Residency is to develop approaches to place that are experimental, inventive in their form, and that respond to place by paying attention to the intersections and collisions between art, culture, materiality, technologies and place.

The residency fee is £1350 GBP, paid by the resident. It includes the residency programme, 5-star self-catering accommodation (single rooms) and work spaces, collection/return to nearest airport/ferry point.
