At the Palais de Tokyo, she has curated the group exhibitions ‘Tituba, Who Will Protect Us?’ (2024), inspired by the work of Maryse Condé, and ‘Collective Joy’ (2025), a participatory exhibition. In 2025, she also co-curated the exhibition ‘ECHO, DELAY, REVERB: American Art, Francophone Thoughts’ and the first retrospective in France of the American sculptor Melvin Edwards.
