Justice Dwight is a queer Black visual artist. He was born in Plainfield, New Jersey raised in Richmond, Virginia. He is a visual artist who utilizes different art forms such as multimedia, painting, sewing, and screen printing. His work incorporates bold color, pattern, and texture.
At six years old, Dwight was inspired by seeing his father paint and witness his mother style her doll collection. He also admires Black artists like Barkley Hendricks, Bisa Butler, and Derrick Adams.
DwightâÂÂs work focuses on Black queer individuals and queer identity. He aims to showcase different aspects of identity, acceptance, and love.
Dwight's Queer Prom Series showcases different pieces of quilted photographs highlighting what it would look and feel like having a prom at this stage in his life where he is authentically himself and openly queer. This set up was at the 1708 Gallery in Richmond, Virginia. Dwight said that this show stood as a love letter to a younger version of him and all the queer kids who struggled with their identities in high school. This project helped heal his "inner teenager." The Queer Prom Project was available for view the whole month of August 2025.
Justice Dwight had collaborated with the United States Embassy in Havana, Cuba to work on a mural project that incorporated themes of internal conflicts. He chose themes of Black queer struggle and painted murals of themes that included young love, mature love, joy, visibility, and overall representation. The series was called Star Children of the Universe.
Justice Dwight had his Textile Truths: Faces of Resilience work be shown at the ACA Galleries in New York through January of 2026, which transformed textiles into vessels of heritage, dignity, and endurance.
