She co-organized with the group Something to Generate From (June-August 2016) at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark; Bazar (May 2017), a project presented as part of the second edition of Supercopy festival in Mannheim. Perpetuate the links between the contemporary and the ancestral through collaborations between artists, researchers, writers and artisans, she reevaluates decolonial thoughts of the contemporary world. Very attached to the ancestral values that would have sprouted from geographical antipodes, she creates connections between past, present and future.
