about carla tofano

Born, raised and educated in Venezuela to a modern family, with progressive thinking and humanist tendencies, Carla is the daughter of Tecla Tofano, a renowned visual artist and tireless feminist-activist, and Alfredo Chacón, a poet with an incredibly prolific career and significant work in the area of cultural management.

After graduating as a social communicator from the Universidad Central de Venezuela, she was able to pursue a journalistic career that enabled her to become a prominent voice in cultural journalism covering, in particular, the arts, shows and trends.

Her professional CV includes several radio programmes (Cosmobabies, En el Aire, Ciudad Glam) and a variety of opinion columns (Metralla Rosa, Mujeres Primero, Compro Luego Existo). She was a television producer for national (“RCTV“) and panregional (“E! Entertainment Television” for Latin America) channels, and she had more than one interesting incursion on prime-time TV shows (Fama, Sudor y Lágrimas).

After moving to the UK a little over 10 years ago, her career took a radical turn. While learning English and rediscovering anonymity in the extraordinary city of London, she succeeded in establishing herself as one of the city’s most sought-after artist’s models, giving a renewed meaning to her vocation as a communicator.

Today, from London to the rest of the world, once more using the power of her words, she is co-producing a reinvention of her first ever opinion column: Metralla Rosa!
