In 2016 she joined the Ràdio Web MACBA group and co-founded the experimental collective Radio Cava-ret. Her work focuses on the estrangement and altered perception of urban objects, places and buildings, provoking temporary relations and situations mostly related with what is called “popular culture”, and their political implications.
