Currently, she is Assistant to the Curator and Managing Editor at the 59th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia. Manuela has served at the Steering Committee of Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery; she has also served at MALBA Joven’s Steering Committee (Young Friends Association of the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires).
