Her curatorial and research practice is focused on possible alternative processes of instituting and on redefining modes of working transnationally. At the moment she curates transnational project Breaking the Spell, focused on feminist practices in contemporary performing arts and co-curates with NorthEastSouthWest project in Dresden. In October 2021, she curated “Forecast. A School of Thinking-With” for Dublin Theatre Festival.

She has collaborated with the platform until 2019. In 2021, she was commissioned by IETM to prepare together with Marie Le Sourd (On the Move) a study on strategies undertaken by European arts institutions against transgressive behaviour.
