Ariana Nuala is a curator and researcher whose practice unfolds in dialogue with artistic collectives, addressing dynamics of power, impermanence, and diaspora, while combining bodily strategies with poetic writing. Nuala holds a master’s degree in Art History from UFPB, where they developed the research MATAMUSEUMATA, establishing a critical relation between Quilombo do Catucá and Oficina Francisco Brennand, investigating frictions between memory, territory, and institutions. Nuala’s work engages with archives, collective practices, and the tensions between institutional structures and situated forms of knowledge. In 2024, they were adjunct curator of the 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art, alongside Germano Dushá and Thiago de Paula Souza. They have published critical texts for institutions such as the 36th São Paulo Biennial and the Pinacoteca de São Paulo.

Nuala was selected as Salta art’s 2026 curator-in-residence at AIR-M Ebenböckhaus in Munich.
