She obtained a Diplôme d’Études Approfondies (DEA) in 1999, under the supervision of Philippe Dagen [fr], and wrote a dissertation entitled Image and Body: representing the body in South African art from the 1960s to 1990s.

[1] She then pursued research on contemporary South African art with, as her main subject, the history of artists exiled during apartheid and their cultural exchange with the black diaspora in France and England.

Her other research topics also include themes such as body representation, gender in art, and urban culture.

[3] She works for various institutions, notably as an exhibition curator for the FOCUS - Contemporary Art Africa exhibition in Basel,[4] on the selection of African photographers at Photoquai, in Paris in 2011, and, with other curators, for the Dakar Biennale in 2012.

In 2012, she joined the Making Histories Visible team, an artistic research project of the Center for Contemporary Art at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) with the mission of carrying out innovative curatorial projects, in collaboration with museums and contemporary artists.
