About

Paris-based contemporary art curator and consultant, Élise Roche holds the position as Projects and Exhibitions Director from the HM Conseils team since 2019. She advises LVMH Group Houses on artistic collaborations, while contributing to the creation of exhibitions such as “L’Écume des Songes” for Art Paris, “Miss Dior” at Château de la Colle Noire, and participating in the “Noor” art festival in Riyadh.
