Elana Janel Casey (b.Washington, DC 1994) is a curator based in Chevy Chase, MD. Her approach to curation is rooted in the black tradition of storytelling, allowing exhibitions to evolve with the artist's vision.

Her primary focus is to immortalize black diasporic stories and to invite viewers to engage in a dialogue that centers on our collective humanity.
