Gail Ritche – Art of Rememberance Artist Residency

Congratulations to QSS studio holder Gail Ritche who has been selected as one of four artists to partake in the Art of Remembrance residency programme.

Hosted at four WWII remembrance sites across Europe, each chosen artist will create a new site-specific work inspired by the local history, memory culture, and community. Their residencies take place between spring 2025 and early 2026 and will culminate in a travelling exhibition.

Words from the jury:
“Gail Ritchie’s application stood out for its depth, clarity, and emotional intelligence. Her proposal demonstrated strong conceptual grounding, drawing on a rich artistic and theoretical genealogy to explore the lasting impact of war. The jury was particularly interested in her ability to connect personal and societal memory, and in her sensitive engagement with historical archives and site-specific narratives.”
