Juelle Daley

Juelle Daley is an independent curator, art consultant, writer, filmmaker, photographer and educator. After residing and studying in France for several years, she arrived in Chicago with an M. A. in Urban Planning & Design from the Institut Francais d’ Urbanisme and a B.A. in East Asian Studies (China) and Urban Studies from Rutgers University. 

Currently she is Assistant Director of University Arts Engagement at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago. She holds a degree in Film from the School of Cinematic Arts at DePaul University, where she previously served as Assistant Director at the Center for Black Diaspora. She is a former Hatch curatorial resident at the Chicago Artist Coalition (2019-2020), and curator of several exhibits, including “Excavating Memory” and “Ebony and Jet magazine covers of the 1960’s”.

All of this and more have transformed her into a hybrid cultural creature, a self-described nerd, dreamer, cinephile, Francophile, filmmaker, photographer and art lover. She is the co-founder of the itinerant pop-up art event Salon Caju that showcases the art of local Chicago creatives. She directed the short film, “Six Hour Pass” and is currently in post-production on documentaries titled “Tainted Name” and “Watered Down Memories”.

Like a plant, she grows towards the light. For more information please visit https://www.juelledaley.com
