About the edition:
Darryl Daley is an artist filmmaker whose ethnographic practice explores the intersections of Black identity and mythology within the Black Atlantic. Working across moving image and photography, he navigates personal and familial histories through themes of inheritance, spirituality, and the archive. His work is grounded in materiality, liminal space, and abstraction, creating visual languages that hold both the tangible and the immaterial.
This photograph was taken in 2022 during the nine nights held for the artist’s grandmother—an Afro-Caribbean funerary tradition marking the passage between worlds. The image depicts a family member holding her baby; yet beyond its intimate documentary frame, it operates symbolically. The gesture evokes revival and circular time, drawing upon the enduring iconography of the Black mother and child. In this moment, lineage becomes visible as both inheritance and continuation.
How does this edition support ICF?
Profits from this edition are shared between ICF and the artist, with ICF’s share going towards the delivery of our programme. After undertaking a professional development residency with ICF in 2024, Darryl generously offered to support the continuation of this vital work for more creative practitioners by collaborating with us on this edition.
“The support of the International Curators Forum has been instrumental in the continued development of my creative practice and career. Releasing this edition with ICF felt like an important opportunity to give back and contribute to the work they continue to do.” - Darryl Daley

Darryl Daley is a London-born moving image artist of Afro-Caribbean heritage, whose practice bridges film, sound, graphic design, and photographic materials. His practice critically examines the intersections of Black identity, mythology, and ideology within the framework of the Black Atlantic.
Rooted in an Afro-Caribbean and surrealist perspective, he investigates Black matriarchal social structures, inheritance, and genetic memory, engaging with the concept of the immaterial archive. Through film and sound, the artist 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 vessels of ancestral transmission.
