She develops her practice in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Argentina where she curated the exhibition Ferrari Infinito by the Argentinian artist León Ferrari, dedicated exclusively to his engravings, in a project that brought together several iconic pieces made by the artist after his exile in Brazil in 1976.
