Hannah Bartos

Hannah is a visual artist, researcher and author, living between the UK and the Middle East (Qatar). In her artistic practice, she is fascinated with boundaries. That is, how society is organised and patterns of human interaction. Alongside medium-format photography, her work encompasses moving image, audio and the fabrication of 3D sculptural installations.

Her creative process is research-led; notably, her work deals broadly with the creation of meaning in society and focuses specifically on themes of identity, representation, and differentiation. Through her work, Hannah contemplates alternative ways of looking at specific social and cultural topics. She is drawn to exploring areas of life that are poorly understood or overlooked as mundane, reflecting upon unseen experiences and the interplay between private and public spheres of life.

Hannah graduated from the London College of Communication (UAL) in 2024, receiving a ‘Distinction’ at Masters’ degree level (Photography). She has since been nominated for a number of awards, including the World Press Joop Swart Masterclass (2024) and the STAR Photobook Dummy Book Award (2024). Hannah is a peer-reviewed published author (Routledge 2021, 2022), with a Ph.D. in Sociology and Religion and is a fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society (elected 2013).
