Does "it" here imply "the writer's idea about non-residency that is pessimistic" or "the fact that non-residency is supported nowadays"?
What I cling to here – and it is in part a corrective to or defence of non-residency – is the fact that artists are frequently commissioned to make work for places and cultures to which they do not strictly ‘belong’, and that this might prove to be a useful advantage.

"It" refers to the idea that non-residency can be a plus for an artist.
