Research overview
Kateryna (she/her) is a Ukraine-born, Scotland-based historian of photography and researcher; she is a SGSAH-funded PhD Сandidate at the University of St Andrews and a Researcher in the IWM funded Occupational Formations: (In)visible Infrastructures working group. Volochniuk's scholarly pursuits focus on the intersection of history of photography, memory studies and visual culture.
Her ongoing research project delves into the personal archive of her grandfather Oleksii Shepeliuk. The archive has never been studied and will provide critical insights into Ukrainian Soviet-era industrial history and heritage, which exists today in a grey zone between abandonment and extinction.
Oleksii Shepeliuk was a photographer and editor for the Kyiv Lepse Factory newspaper from 1963-1970. His corpus of work, consisting of photography, journalism, and accompanying notes, offers a rare glimpse into the practices of industrial self-documentation and the intersections of familial and public histories.
