She was the curator at PM Gallery in Zagreb from 2010 to 2012 and at SIZ Gallery in Rijeka from 2013 to 2015. From 2017 to 2021 she was the curator at GSG in Rijeka where she initiated and (co)edited the first three issues of GSG magazine for Contemporary Art and Social Question. As Fokus Grupa she received the Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen Scholarship and developed a seminar at the Innsbruck Institute for Architectural Theory. The Exhistenzoptimum project, realised at the Institute in collaboration with the students explored how architecture shapes communities and reproduces gendered spaces and heteronormative relations. Fokus Grupa has, within a data research project invisiblematter.xyz, explored the global expansion of the contemporary art filed through the lens of e-flux. Within the recent research, which looks at the colonial history of the European periphery, Fokus Grupa published an article titled A Room with a Landscape in ARTMargins journal.
