Her work has been exhibited in public and private institutions, including in Italy: Salvatore Ferragamo Museum; XXI Triennale Internazionale Milan; GAM Gallery of Modern Art, Turin; and MAMbo Museum of Modern Art, Bologna; as well as internationally, including Turner Contemporary, UK and Kichik QalArt, Azerbaijan. She has undertaken numerous artist residencies in countries ranging from Guatemala, Bolivia and Brazil to Switzerland, Finland, France and The Netherlands.

This collective textile workshop with Paola Anziché explores manual dexterity, the spirit of cooperation and the element of discovery. The session provides a knowledge base around weaving without a loom. Requiring no special skills, this is an invitation to rethink and reinvent while exploring aspects of gesture-performance, design, architecture and fashion.
