For the 13th biennale of arts in Dakar in 2018, she worked for the OFF Commission and participated in the performative exhibition »maGma« with other women. She also undertook a series of noise  recordings of the city of Dakar to explore the idea that 'noise is language' for the »Collectif 0n est malade« formed with Freya Edmondes during the RAW Academy Session 3 under the direction of the Journal Rappé.
