Piper-Wright explores how women using the camera enact their visual resistance through the interrelated processes of seeing and being seen.
Tracy Piper-Wright
Tracy Piper-Wright is an academic artist and Senior Lecturer in Photography at the University of Chester. Her PhD investigated how audiences engaged with site specific art through photography and social media and her current research interests centre on photography as a cultural practice, in particular its technological developments and everyday uses. Her recent projects include an ethnographic study of photographic ‘mistakes’ in the work of contemporary photographers, investigating the relationship between social media photography and mental health and wellbeing, and practice-led explorations of amateur photographic archives.
WHO SUPPORTS US
The team of MAI supporters and contributors is always expanding. We’re honoured to have a specialist collective of editors, whose enthusiasm & talent gave birth to MAI.
However, to turn our MAI dream into reality, we also relied on assistance from high-quality experts in web design, development and photography. Here we’d like to acknowledge their hard work and commitment to the feminist cause. Our feminist ‘thank you’ goes to:

Guy Martin – an award-winning and widely published British photographer who’s kindly agreed to share his images with our readers
Chandler Jernigan – a talented young American photographer whose portraits hugely enriched the visuals of MAI website
Matt Gillespie – a gifted professional British photographer who with no hesitation gave us permission to use some of his work
Julia Carbonell – an emerging Spanish photographer whose sharp outlook at contemporary women grasped our feminist attention
