She received her PhD from the University of Westminster with the dissertation "Curating Arts on the Edge of Unstable Society." Her books include Incomplete Collaboration: Asymmetrical Responsibilities between Art and Society; Whose Memory Becomes History; and Song of the Wind: From Making Together-Sea, Migration, Labour, and the Work of Living Together.
