Since 2013, together with Gudinni Cortina, they curate and direct Umbral, an independent space and festival researching practices around sound in the present moment. They are also director of the Center for the Creation, Archiving, and Distribution of Sound Art in Mexico (Centro de Creación, Archivo y Difusión de Arte Sonoro en México, or CCADDASM), which, since 2015, seeks to shape an alternative historiography of sound practices in Mexico through performative interpretations, workshops, exhibitions, and the recovery of art projects.
