Mapuche Artist, their work recurs to their cultural heritage as a starting point in order to propose a critical reflection on the social, cultural, and political status of the Mapuche subject within contemporary Chilean society. Their work includes installation, ceramics, performance and video, with the aim of exploring the cultural similarities and differences between the crossing of indigenous and Western ways of thinking, as well as their stereotypes, making feminism and queer theory visible.

Their work is part of the Centre Pompidou (France), Denver Art Museum (USA), Museo MALBA (Argentina), Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Spain), KADIST collection (France), Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Chile) and MAC (Chile).

They participated in the 34th Bienal de São Paulo, 12th Bienal de Mercosur and 22nd Bienal Paiz.

In 2021 they were awarded by Eyebeamʼs Fractal Fellowships and in 2023 by Fundación Ama Amoedoʼa FAARA.
