Madison Nunes (They/He/She) is an artist, independent curator, and arts administrator working in the so-called United State’s South. Nunes's work focuses on the intimacies of alternative family structures and expands on stories of queerness and neurodivergence where retellings of history are at risk for erasure. Their practice revolves around photography’s ability to challenge dominant narratives, highlighting the complexities of identity, community, and resistance within the power structures that shape the interactions of documentarians and communities.
Madison has exhibited their work in spaces such as Green Point Gallery, Midwest Nice Art, The Bakery Atlanta, Echo Contemporary, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta Photography Group, Goat Farm. Madison has received multiple grants and artist residencies for their work including through City of Atlanta’s Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Dashboard, Idea Capital, South Arts, Hambidge, MINT Gallery, and The Creatives Project. Their work is held in Fulton County’s public collections. They received their BFA in photography and video from The School of Visual Arts in 2019 and are an MFA candidate at the Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design at Georgia State University.
