Chelsea Yuill

Chelsea Yuill (b. 1992, Edmonton, Canada) is an emerging curator and textile artist. Yuill’s practice explores mythologies and the absurdities in everyday life. She is an intersectional feminist who is in lifelong support of Black Lives Matter and Indigenous Sovereignty movements. These themes fold and movements are folding into her curatorial work to engage the public with contemporary art in surprising, intersectional and thought-provoking ways to build awareness and offer resonance.

Yuill’s most recent curatorial projects include the virtual exhibition Back of My Hand, Capture Photography Festival (2020); A Vase of Pale Roses, Capture Photography Festival (2020); and EAT YOUR TAIL at Access Gallery (2020). She was a co-curator of Intertwined (2018); and 88 Artists from 88 Years (2017) both of which took place at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECUAD). Yuill holds a BFA from ECUAD with a minor in curatorial practices (2019). Currently, she is the Festival & Publication Coordinator at Capture Photography Festival.

She is of Dutch, Welsh and Scottish ancestry and is an uninvited settler on the unceded and traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations (Vancouver, BC).
