DAFNE CROCELLA – CURRICULUM VITAEDafne Crocella, who graduated in cultural anthropology from Sapienza University of Rome in 2002, began working as a curator of contemporary art exhibitions in December 2007 at the ARTROM Network's Roman home gallery, Artist Presentation Space.

There, she curated dozens of exhibitions both in the home gallery spaces and through external participation, and launched the Art Experiences workshops, creating a cultural hub open to artists and art lovers where they could meet, present books, and share art experiences.

During those years, she began collaborating with the International Slow Art Movement, with which she has collaborated on several occasions, bringing slow art techniques to museums and galleries including the MAXXI, the MNAO, the GNAM, and the MURO.
