Noelia Portela is an independent curator, cultural administrator and educator based in Paris. She studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.

Noelia has held various positions in galleries, arts organizations and contemporary art fairs, notably in New Zealand, Europe and the UK, including Enjoy Public Art Gallery, PeterMcLeavy Gallery, AFA Chile for Feria Ch.Aco, VENICE DESIGN and most recently 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. She writes regularly for magazines including Artishock Magazine and Relieve Contemporaneo. In 2017, she founded Persona Curada, a curatorial project that promotes contemporary Latin American art in conversation with the French art scene. For the past 5 years, the project has been run on a voluntary basis by Noelia Portela and the entire team.

Clara Schulmann has been writing for over ten years and she currently teaches theory in art schools. At the Beaux-Arts de Paris, her seminar Les Fileuses focuses on storytelling. She regularly collaborates with artists. In 2020, she published Zizanies (Paraguay Press), a first-person narrative in which these collaborations hold a special place. Since January 2022, she has hosted a live radio program with Thomas Boutoux, En déplacement, from the Jocelyn Wolff gallery in Romainville, an ongoing investigation into the bifurcations of the art world, among others.
