She researches, works and defines her artistic production as "experiences of action and resistance as a response to so much violence", accompanying different moments of struggle in Argentina, where individual and collective disputes that confront the dominant ideology are put into play. He proposes a way of doing where the process of creation, its relationships, and its modes of circulation play a role. He thinks of the artistic experience as a situated practice. His work retakes the Benjaminian concept of montage through which new ties and meanings are built, directing the artistic action to question the social fabric. He has participated in numerous exhibitions/interventions at local, national and international level and his work is reflected in books, media, documentaries and social networks.
