Daniel Jewesbury has been a widely-read writer for around 20 years. While still a student, he began writing art criticism in Circa, which was, for a couple of decades, the most significant journal covering art and visual culture in Ireland. Daniel subsequently served on the board of the magazine for many years.

Daniel also wrote many articles and reviews for Art Monthly, during which time he was the magazine's only regular contributor in Ireland. Today, Daniel is a contributor to Source Photographic Review, for whom he wrote a regular round-up review of self-published photobooks for many years.

Daniel has written catalogue essays and extended critical texts on a number of artists, including Willie Doherty, Duncan Campbell, Cian Donnelly, Roderick Buchanan and Borut Hlupič.

Daniel has also published on many other topics. He is particularly interested in how cities work, and how the people who live in them find ways of using them. He's written extensively about this subject in The Vacuum, a much-famed magazine that is produced in Belfast whenever its editors feel the spur of inspiration (increasingly infrequently). Daniel has also been commissioned to write texts about other cities, for instance, a booklet about Ljubljana that was produced by the main Slovenian arts & culture magazine in 2010.

Daniel has written extensively about the politics of race and multiculturalism. Between 2008 and 2010, Daniel was a researcher and consultant for the Arts Council of Ireland, producing recommendations for a new policy on cultural diversity. Recently, Daniel’ s produced research on subjects as diverse as the material culture of the 1916 Easter Rising, and the failed socio-economic promise of the Northern Irish peace process.
