What it’s like (being me)Jack Moyse
27 May - 29 July 2023
Jack Moyse is a photographer and artist from Swansea in South Wales. His practice focuses on subjects that he deems to be societal issues, using photography to express his views on topics such as the demonisation of migrants, ableism and mental health. Primarily, Moyse’s methodology closely resembles that of a documentary photographer however, his practice is intersected by various other artistic mediums such as performance art.
His longest project, What it’s like (being me) is an introspective documentary series that follows a young artist as he attempts to come to grips with the disability with which he was diagnosed at 17. His personal reflections form the basis of a narrative that encompasses some of the many issues people living with disabilities encounter including romance, parenthood and prejudice. Based primarily in photography, the project’s mixed media outcomes aim to create an immersive environment that provides insight for able bodied allies and those wanting to learn more about the lived disabled experience.
