Her work has been exhibited at Usine Kugler (5th bienale, Geneva, CH), the Laura Mesaros Gallery (Morgantown WV), Jojo (Santa Barbara), MAZ (Guadalajara), La Esmeralda (Mexico City), and others.​ Some of her early work took the form of public interventions and interactive performances like "The 3 pigs ” (International “NDLTD Innovative Award ETD”)(Published as a book; VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, 2009). This work explores issues of economic inequalities, ethnic migration and national boundaries through a blending of theater, performance art, video and installation art.  Other examples are "Sanctorum" and "Grassology".

 

Ana has written, directed and produced four long and many short ethnographic documentaries in collaboration with Joshua Greene, Pablo de la Peña and Glynis Board.
