In 2018, I organized Lúcida, a bioluminesce exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Monterrey, Mexico.

During this event I collaborated with Alan Rockefeller, expert in bioluminescent fungi, who showcased his professional photography. Also, Scintia team, collaborate with a microbrewery to develop Aura, a GFP beer.

After that, I got a grant from FONCA (National Fund for Arts and Culture) to develop Sinestesia: Natural y Sintético. Sinestesia was an bioart and biodesign exhibition that showcased the work of several bio enthusiasts players of Mexico.
