For eleven years she was part of the team at the MNCARS: initially at the National Exhibition Center and later as responsible for overseeing the Velázquez and the Palacios de Cristal. During her latter role, she promoted the production of site-specific projects, working directly with artists at the Parque del Retiro. She directed the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM) for two years. There, she reestablished the tri-continental dialogue between Latin America, Africa, Spain, opening the museum to the city and Canarian society. As an independent curator, through her unique curatorial vision, she has produced exhibitions rich in interdisciplinary and intergenerational dialogues, blurring the traditional boundaries between art, architecture, music, literature, nature, and the city.
