From 2006-14 at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Brisbane, she was chief curator of international art and directed the Australian Cinémathèque, also co-curating the 5th-7th Asia Pacific Triennial. Her curatorial and writing practice engages with critical thinking on technology, race, class, gender and political ecology.
