Invited to perform at Art Basel Miami, she presented “Labor of Materiality,” encouraging audience engagement through a chipped egg that scanned to a petition for the Women’s Protection Act of 2023 advocating reproductive freedom.
Currently in residency at The Canvas 3.0 in The Shops at the Oculus in Westfield World Trade Center, she utilizes “Meta Betties,” her concept art collectible minted on the Ethereum Blockchain, to pave the way for digital activism.
