Christina McBride is a lens-based artist and educator in the School of Fine Art. Her practice centres on analogue photography and the development of sustainable, environmentally responsible materials and methodologies. Informed by feminist writing and environmental philosophy, her research explores landscape as both subject and site – a place where questions of materiality, language, and lineage converge. She is developing a photographic archive which examines intertwined histories of migration between Ireland and Scotland, with a particular focus on womens’ experience. Drawing on feminist economic frameworks, this work uncovers overlooked narratives and situates them within broader structures of gendered labour and economics.
She has exhibited widely, nationally and internationally with solo exhibitions in New York and Mexico City. Her international teaching experience includes CALARTS, Los Angeles, and institutions in Japan, China, Mexico, and the USA. She has also served as External Examiner at several national and international institutions.
