THREE DAYS TO GO! Our final contributor, Madison Moore is an artist, cultural critic, DJ and performance-maker based in London.
His work touches pop culture, queer studies, nightlife, sound, media, visual culture and contemporary art, and blurs the lines between scholarship and artistic practice. Madison holds a PhD in American Studies from Yale University and is currently an ERC funded researcher in 'Modern Moves' in the Department of English at King's College London.
Madison's research focuses broadly on (queer) aesthetic practices and experiences. At the center of this work is a commitment to articulating a politics of pleasure, particularly queer pleasure and black joy. Drawing from queer theorists including José Muñoz and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Madison zeroes in on music, fashion, performance, art, and nightlife -- the realm of the aesthetic -- to highlight how people use pleasure every day to stage small acts of resistance.

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR SHONA PROJECTS RESIDENCY Eilean Shona, Scotland 11-18 May 2017
In response to current socio-political unrest, this forthcoming one-week residency will utilise the remote environment of Eilean Shona to explore the charged idea of ‘safe space’.
The week long programme is intended - not as a comprehensive examination of what we consider to be 'safe space' - but rather as a series of provocations from selected contributors who will consider the term within different specialisms, experiences, environments and communities.
Contributors include Under the Moon, Sarah Rugheimer, Madison Moore and Tai Shani, with further contributions TBC.
Twelve participants will be selected to take part in this residency from an open call.
Click here for more information about the programme and here for details on how to apply.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS
27th April at 23:00

To take part in the one-week residency in May, submit your application by 23:00 on 27/04/17 https://www.shonaprojects.com/apply/

These pictures were made at or near Bailetonach, a settlement on Eilean Shona abandoned during the potato blight in the middle of the 1800′s. I used a medium format camera and black and white film.
