Founder of different platforms, she is interested in approaching her artistic and curatorial work from immersion in the city’s territory. She my Micromuseo and Undermuseo were spaces for the exchange of processes and ideas with support from the National Fund for the Arts. She Currently she develops the Pozo Project, transdisciplinary research within architectural construction processes. She is a member of the women’s collective Expanded Body.
Her current production focuses on the performative act as a process of individual and collective healing. Spaces, actions and remains are reconstructed by investigating the transmission and microhistory from ritual actions. There the work obeys an identity gap that seeks to appease itself in catharsis and archeology, the result of which results in photographic pieces, videos, objects and texts. She vindicates the trauma, the damaged and the forgotten as a path towards a rewriting where the personal becomes universal and vice versa. The past inhabits today, where the found object operates as a mechanism of emotional resistance.
