Dwayne Butcher is a cultural producer living in Memphis, TN. In 2016, he made his return to Memphis after a three-year hiatus in Baltimore, MD. For the past decade, his work has wittily commented on his life living in the American South, often around issues of gender identity and classism. During this time, his work as an artist, writer, and curator has gradually shifted from thinking and being local, to exploring their respective roles in a national and international context.

He has exhibited work in Paris, Helsinki, Milan, Amsterdam, Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Chonqing, China, and numerous others. He has been featured in articles focusing on his work and community art projects for the New York Times, The Washington Post, Hyperallergic, Art21, and Big, Red and Shiny. 

Dwayne spends a lot of time with his wife taking pictures of their worthless cats. He likes to play board games and attempt to maintain a healthy garden!

Oh. He also likes wine. 

He used to write for the Memphis Flyer covering the Memphis visual arts scene.

He used to write for BmoreArt in Baltimore and now loves Old Bay on everything.
