360 Dome Cinema Screening of The Third Way Film, 2020

Chillout Culture (2012 - 2020) comprises photographs that capture rarely seen world of the closeness and intimacy of London’s queer community. The series is an intimate document of hyperlocal party scenes maintained by shared senses of escapism. Authentically celebrating the seductive essence of London after dark with shared hedonism.

Welcome to The Third Space, an immersive exhibition by artist and filmmaker Makda Iyasu.

Makda’s work incorporates over ten years of documentary work, constitutes a sustained ethnographic investigation into deconstructed gender identities, working with communities who sought to carve out other concepts of gender and create spaces where alternative gender identities can be lived and explored freely.

These spaces that Makda has explored - which broader society considered marginal - perform important cultural work. They provide spaces where established social concepts can be challenged, and where alternative visions of society can be experimented with and enacted. These spaces open up different possibilities of what society can be, and who we can be, and the roles we can play within it, and as a result, they offer us new visions of a future that are not defined by the constraints of the past.

Through Makda’s sustained exploration of these spaces, we can learn about more than just the deconstruction of gender. By exploring communities who have sought to challenge accepted social identities such as man, woman, and the societal expectations that come with them. Makda offers insights into how other social categories and identity roles can be questioned and rethought.

The Third Space immerses and invites you to consider the other spaces which remain undefined that can be carved out at the interstices of thought, and which can offer new ways with which to think about the society that we live in, and the future society that we are all creating.

How to Write a Blog Post

The Blog is one of your website’s most valuable marketing tools. Whether you’re blogging about fashion, science, education, business, or lifestyle, your ultimate goal is to get yourself, your expertise , or your business out to the world. This is the way to reach your niche audience.

These steps will help you get started with your blog creation:

Attention-Grabbing Headline

An attention-grabbing headline makes your readers want to read your post right away. Make sure to choose a compelling title , otherwise your blog will not be read or shared.

Stand out Introduction

This is the second, most relevant part for grabbing your readers’ attention. If the first few sentences aren’t catchy enough, you will lose your readers. So, try to use humour, or tell an interesting fact right in the beginning. Then, describe the content of the topic, and give readers a reason to continue reading by explaining how it can help them.

Relevant Subheadings

Readers usually skim through the article before they actually decide to read it. Subheadings let you break up content making it easier for your audience to find the information most useful for them, and skip the paragraphs they don’t need.

Bullet Points

Bullet points are great because they help grouping related ideas, and making them more digestible for readers. Use numbered and unnumbered bullets, but make sure not to write paragraphs in bullets. Breaking up an article with long lists or sentences with bullet points makes your blog scannable.

First, you’ll read this
After that, you’ll notice this
Then, you’ll have a glance at this
And at last, you’ll finish on this.

Captivating Images

It is more difficult to process the article when there’s no visual stimulation. Adding relevant images will increase blog post engagement by making it visually appealing. Images help readers understand complex topics, and remember your content better, so take advantage of visuals as much as you can.

Call-to-Action

Insert a call-to-action at the end of your post if you want your readers to do anything like subscribing to your blog, buying your product, or signing up to your newsletter. Make sure to mention the benefit your readers will get.
