Hannah Geddes and Carolina Semprucci have been selected as the Photoworks Writers in Residence this 2025! Hannah and Carolina will be working closely with Amin Yousefi, our Editor and Assistant Curator, writing and producing the upcoming four issues of Photography+, our online magazine.
Hannah Geddes
Hannah Geddes is a curator, writer, and researcher specialising in contemporary art, particularly photography and collaborative practice. She is Curator at Splash and Grab Magazine and recently curated the exhibition ‘Dream States’ as part of the Splash and Grab x Bow Arts artist residency programme that she co-organised. She is currently Talks and Engagement Lead at ICA and is working on a year-long residency with live art collective, Diasporas Now. Previously, she worked as Curator (Research and Interpretation) at Tate.
She is also pursuing a PhD at UAL and her research, Documenting the Messy Self, explores collaboration and messiness as a feminist strategy of resistance in contemporary photography. Her writing has featured in a number of publications including British Journal of Photography, JAWS Journal, Ardesia Projects and Splash and Grab.
Through her research and practice, Hannah draws on the importance of photography as a space for collectivity and collaboration. She is interested in how artists use the self as a catalyst to explore collective experiences, as well as how art can be a site for alternative realities to emerge.
Carolina Semprucci
Carolina Semprucci (b.1999) is an Italian writer and designer based in London. She received a BA in Magazine Journalism and Publishing from the University of the Arts London in 2022. Her final major project, Retrospective, was an artist book she wrote and designed, drawing on magazine conventions and combining archival material with present-day interviews and photography. The project was awarded the LCC Wood Stephens Master Printer Award and earned her a place on the Flatplan masterclass with MagCulture.
Since then, she has worked as a visiting practitioner on the BA Publishing course at London College of Communication, while also taking on freelance projects. Her published writing, focusing on themes of surveillance and artificial intelligence, has appeared on Photography+, Der Greif, and has been published by Kult Books.
In her design practice, Semprucci has collaborated with a range of clients including ArtULTRA (for which she designed a catalogue distributed at the 2025 London Art Fair), the Future Justice Project, and The Justice Gap, an organisation investigating miscarriages of justice, where she art directed the sixth issue of Proof Magazine. Semprucci also continues to work on a series of self-published projects. Her art direction for the book Persona Non Grata was featured on Service95 (2024), and most recently, No you’re Not/Yes I am, a photo-book she was commissioned to design, was exhibited at Photofusion, Brixton (2025).
