About the Artist
Najja Moon is a Miami-based artist and cultural practitioner, born and raised in Durham, North Carolina. Her visual arts practice uses drawing, text and sound to explore the intersections of Queer identity, the body and movement, Black culture and familiar relations both personal and communal. A preacher’s kid and daughter of musicians raised on gospel music and HBCU’s, before she committed to being an artist full time, she was a basketball player who used to be a kid who wanted to be an artist. Her art practice has in some ways become the probing of these intersections.
Moon is the inaugural artist to be commissioned by the Bass Museum for their “New Monuments” series. She is also the winner of a 2020 Knight New Work Grant for her ongoing project “The Huddle is a Prayer Circle”. Other recent exhibitions and commissions included: What if the Matriarchy was here all along at the Altadena Library in Los Angeles, CA (2022), Blueprint at Bridge Red Studios in North Miami, FL (2022) and Dust Specks on the Sea at Villa du Parc Contemporary Art Center in Annemasse, France (2022). She was also awarded a public art commission in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2022
