About Wayne Northcross
I’m a curator, gallery director, and cultural strategist with over two decades of…
Experience
Co-curator
Mar 2025 — Present · Detroit, MI, US
Co-curating the 2026 Detroit Queer Biennial, a multi-venue exhibition unfolding across Detroit under the title Give Me Tonight – for all the dreams we’ve dreamed. My curatorial approach centers queer modes of ritual, belonging, and spiritual ambiguity—foregrounding works that explore erotic estrangement, metaphysical resistance, and private devotional acts. As part of the Biennial’s core team, I oversee curatorial direction, artist research, institutional partnerships, and strategic planning in collaboration with Mighty Real/Queer Detroit.
