She has performed in venues, festivals, clubs and institutions across the world, including the Southbank Centre, Maison de la Radio, Barbican Centre, Sydney Opera House, The Kitchen, Kölner Philharmonie, CTM/Transmediale, Sónar, and Montreux Jazz Festival, among others. She has collaborated widely, with musicians, artists and designers, including Moritz von Oswald, Metahaven, Kevin Beasley, Julia Holter, Hanne Lippard, Eckhaus Latta, John Cale, Leila Bordreuil, Bendik Giske, Lucy Railton, Coby Sey, Klein, Lafawndah, Eli Keszler, Oliver Coates, and the London Contemporary Orchestra.
