He has also collaborated with public Mexican and Brazilian institutions such as the Museo Universitario del Chopo (Mexico) and the Cervantes Institute (Brazil), as well as with independent spaces and galleries such as Salón Silicón (Mexico City, Mexico)and, more recently, Licenciado Gallery (Mexico City, Mexico).
