Place, People and Time: MICRO-MACRO 2024

MICRO-MACRO (Italy) was devised around the relationships of ‘place, people and time’ and residents were welcomed to Collemacchia, in Italy’s Apennine Mountains and the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. The village has been home to Tracy Mackenna’s Italian family for centuries and the local community is highly supportive of The Museum of Loss and Renewal Residency Programmes.

The Group Residency was lead by Tracy Mackenna, Curator of The Museum of Loss and Renewal, working in partnership with Amanda Crabtree, Director and Lead Curator of artconnexion, France. Tracy and Amanda have in common expertise that includes internationally presented and tested approaches to the relationships between art, place, society and audiences and they work across gallery, museum, site-specific, participatory and socially engaged practices, mediation-production and commissioning. Additional subject-specific sessions will be delivered by a range of multidisciplinary experts.

MICRO-MACRO was 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.
