Alessandra CHIERICATO
Curatrice

Biography


International

Alessandra Chiericato (b. 1992 in Milan, lives in Paris) is an art curator. In 2019, she founded The Room Projects, a curatorial platform dedicated to supporting contemporary art. She has organized several exhibitions, co-founded two artist residencies—La Maison d’Odile in France and the Centro Corradino d’Ascanio in Italy—and produced “Square Meters,” a podcast focused on artists’ studios in Paris, Milan, and Dakar. She has also organized lectures and video art screenings. After collaborating from 2021 to 2023 with the 31 Project gallery, which is dedicated to promoting African contemporary art scenes, she joined the Fondation des Treilles while continuing her independent projects. Her curatorial research, centered on aesthetics and photography, explores the ways in which images are transformed and circulated, as well as their ability to redefine our relationship with reality. Her latest project, “L’Image cannibale,” which explores the image as an autonomous and voracious entity in the face of reality, was awarded the curatorial research grant from the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles in 2024 and presented at the Chapelle de la Charité during the 57th edition in 2026. As a contributor to the collector’s magazine *Sphères*, she highlights the work of international contemporary photographers through portfolio presentations and the column “Histoire d’une photo” (Story of a Photo).
