She has participated and coordinated projects both in the Metropolitan Region and in 10 regions of Chile, emphasizing on expanding the knowledge of the Contemporary Visual Arts, proposing them as a methodology for social transformation since it proposes relevant experiences both in formal education and in the audience development. Her performance is characterized by installing the idea of the artist as an activist within the community that promotes reflection and empowerment from the Arts and thus contributes to the enrichment of learning processes in order to effectively reinforce the skills necessary for this XXI century, that is, the promotion of critical thinking, logical reasoning and socio-cultural awareness.
