Madison Young Says: "I love Brooklyn and I'm thrilled to be coming to SHAG with my DIY Porn workshop.  Porn is an incredible medium in which we can document our sexual culture, advocate for safer sex practices and communication, as well as ignite a spark in relationships. Get ready to change the world and build community with a camera in one hand and a bottle of lube in the other." 

Following the DIY Porn Workshop will be a book signing with Madison and Photography Duo Paulie and Pauline as part of the launch of their latested photo book, Off the Set: Porn Stars and their Partners.  The book signing is free; refreshments will be served.  For more info please click HERE.

About Madison Young… from her perspective:

“I’m Madison Young (www.madisonbound.com), your kinky girl next door, award winning BDSM and fetish porn star, adult performer, director, published writer, artist and gallerist. I like rough queer sex and sharing my sexual explorations with you. Inside you will find women and men having real orgasms and something that is a rarity in porn – connection. For me art and porn are closely intertwined and I like to see the two come together here on my web site and in my art work.”

“For the past 8 years I’ve been participating in the documentation of authentic sexual culture both by sharing my sexuality with the camera and by picking up the camera myself and documenting honest sexual climaxes and explorations of those in my community… a community of queers, artists, kinksters, lifestyle fetishists, sex workers, activists, extroverts, sex nerds, exhibitionists, real couples, and lovers. This is my passion in life. To create space physically and on the web for the visual and intellectual dialogue of sex, art, kink, and gender expression. To create space that is free of shame and celebrating our bodies, our connections with lovers, our community and fellow sexual collaborators. Celebrating the ever-changing fluctuation of our identities, our bodies, our sexual desires. Celebrating our animalistic sexual instincts and embracing our sexual selves with radical fearlessness.”
