Her curatorial practice focuses on filling gaps and writing new narratives that highlight the importance of representation and visibility of northern Indigenous Peoples. She was the curator of We Are Our Language (2019), Emerging North (2020), co-curator for Elemental Transformations (2021) and TETHER (2022).
