She has participated in independent initiatives such as the urban interventions project URBE (Bom Retiro neighborhood, São Paulo, 2016), the public space interventions project Cartograffiti (Edital Arte na Cidade, Prefeitura de São Paulo, 2012); and, in 2013, she developed a work in public space for the city of Toronto, Canada, by commission from the Koffler Center of the Arts.
