For De eso no se habla, she received the Colombine International Journalism Prize (2021), among others, for the report Una placa en mi pueblo [A plaque in my town], about the discovery of a plaque that commemorates the history of a forgotten feminist struggle in her hometown of Basauri. The most recent season of the podcast is called Se llamaba como yo [She had my name], a co-production with EITB that tells the story of the silence surrounding a family victim of terrorism and the clamour that broke through it.
She has also written columns and recorded podcasts for media such as El País, Público, CTXT, Deutsche Welle, Radio Ambulante, and Carne Cruda, among others. She is the author of two poetry collections, and the essay Poética de la ausencia: Formas subversivas de la memoria en la cultura visual contemporánea [Poetics of absence: Subversive forms of memory in contemporary visual culture] (Cátedra, 2019) on documentary production and contemporary film essays. She teaches classes on radio documentaries, and she has taught at institutions such as RNE, EITB, La Casa Encendida, NYU, and Princeton University, among others.
