My work is looking at notions of culture, identities and communities in artistic practices in Wales. I am interested in photography practices in particular. For this purpose, with a qualitative research method; I conducted semi-structured interviews with photographers and curators involved in photography exhibitions in publicly funded galleries in Wales. This study is not only taking a micro approach but is completed by a thorough macro analysis of the policy context too. This research aims to contribute to works around identities and communities in the fields of cultural sociology and sociology of the arts.
