Dan Bowhay is a photographic artist working in the United Kingdom. His practice encompasses photography and moving image with a focus on installation. Much of Bowhay’s practice is autobiographical, with recent projects focussing on his disability through a personal, social, and political lens.
Bowhay’s projects ‘Between These Times’ and ‘Visual Un-impairment’ explore his visual impairment and how this affects his ongoing relationship with the world around him. In other projects, Bowhay explores the relationship between architecture and its communities, reframing photographic archives and their narratives, and his documentary works examine spaces and environments that are less familiar.
His work has been exhibited in Aberrations Collective’s exhibition in BEAF’s B.A.D. Gallery in Bournemouth and is soon to be shown at Copeland Gallery in London. He has also taken part in a residency program with the Bournemouth Underground Gallery (TheBUG), with an exhibition in 2024.
