The Residency as Diagram: Holding virtual and global space-time through the diagrammatic

For the month of October 2021, a group of nineteen artists from around the world convened for the online residency ‘Place, People and Time: Wild Ways’, hosted by The Walking Library (Misha Myers and Dee Heddon) and The Museum of Loss and Renewal (Tracy Mackenna and Edwin Janssen). Diagrammatic methods and online collaborative tools were used throughout the residency as a means not only to understand, share and translate different ways that the group held shared global time and space together, but also to mediate connection between one another in virtual and geographic space. This visual essay considers the diagrammatic methods used throughout the residency, which drew upon and extended further the existing practices of both The Walking Library project and The Museum of Loss and Renewal.
