TRACE is an international artistic residency programme exploring how contemporary art can engage with memory, war, displacement, ecological crisis, and the collective experiences shaping
Europe today. It takes as its starting point a series of recent and ongoing historical events and entangled crises, including the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Srebrenica genocide, migration flows across the Mediterranean, the ecological legacy of Chernobyl, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, situating them within broader contemporary geopolitical and environmental conditions across the partner countries (Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ukraine). The project brings together artists, curators, researchers, and local communities from these contexts to work with archives, sites of memory, and present-day social realities.
