As an artist, she works on projects that problematize the construction of social imaginaries and the sources of hegemonic knowledge. Her interests span feminisms, methodologies, technology, North-South power relations, colonial and migratory processes and extractivism. Her projects materialize in artistic production, writing, research and pedagogy.

In her writing, she explores different formats, from fiction to essay, through poetic prose, manifesto, and academic text. She is currently completing the projects “Subnormal Methodologies” and “Decentering the gaze to broaden the vision.” She participates in the M.A.M.I Museum, in the Centro de Estudios de la Naturaleza Extractiva (CENEx), in the Institute of Porn Studies, in the Real Archivo Sudaca, and in the Pluriversidad Nómada.
