She has shown her work in different venues such as CentroCentro (Madrid), APA (Bruselas), Swab Performance (Barcelona), àngels barcelona, Cuarto Espacio (Zaragoza), Twin Gallery (Madrid), CA2M (Madrid), Sala Muncunill (Terrassa), H.AAC (Vic), Castillo de Montjuïc (Barcelona), Chalton Gallery (Londres), Fabra i Coats (Barcelona), Arts Santa Mònica (Barcelona), Antic Teatre (Barcelona), MACBA (Barcelona), Werf 52 (Düsseldorf), Second Home (Berlin).
