She is author of Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War (Ashgate, 2013), and has published essays in catalogues published by various museums, among them The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museo Reina Sofia, International Center of Photography, and the Museu Picasso. Previously she was a Curatorial Assistant at The Museum of Modern Art, where she co-curated Tempo (2002) and Caribbean and Latin American Art: MoMA at El Museo (2004).
