Reviews of her work have appeared in Art Forum, Bidoun, ArtAsia Pacific, among others. She has worked with both Triangle Arts Trust and the Fondazione Pistoletto in pushing ‘studio practice’ in to social spaces, and has initiated the Shatana International Arts workshop in Jordan, as well as experimental sound/image labs for youth in Jordan.
