Darryl Daley is a London-born moving image artist and filmmaker of Afro-Caribbean heritage. He works predominantly within film, moving image, photography, and graphic design. His practice critically examines the intersections of Black identity, mythology, and ideology within the framework of the Black Atlantic. Through film and sound, he documents personal and familial histories, offering a critical exploration of identity, spirituality, and cultural continuity. This multimedia approach deconstructs conventional narrative forms, employing juxtaposition and collage to foreground nuanced discourses on Blackness and the Black body as a vessel of ancestral transmission.
Youlogy / No Ghosts explores cyclical motifs of arrival and departure through the artist’s grandmother’s migration to the United Kingdom and her posthumous return to Jamaica, creating a transcendental frame where memory and time merge. In this speculative space, the film navigates beyond the confines of mortality, reimagining a future where inherited stories resist linearity.
Youlogy / No Ghosts will play as part of the Shorts Block: Deposited in This Land of Strangers
