He curated the K-Z Radionáutica project for the exhibition Angazi pero estoy seguro at the Museo Tamayo and has worked on DIY initiatives such as Bogotrax, a 20 years old electronic music festival, exploring the intersection of art,  technology  and cultural transformation.. As a DJ, he blends diverse musical influences, using sound as a medium to connect people and narratives in both cultural and activist settings.
