Her recent video work Postnatural Supernatural was exhibited at LUX Moving Image (2022) and published in The Contemporary Journal, Nottingham Contemporary (2023). Her project Falling Birds was exhibited at Gasworks in the group show Over everything which exists under the sky (2019) and was presented as a solo exhibition at the Horniman Museum in London (2022). Helena has published her poetic writing in MAP Magazine (2023) Ed. Daniela Cascella; APRIA (2022); Reliquiae, Corbel Stone Press (2020); Alterity (2019) Ed. Richard Skelton; MAI Journal (2019) and Something Other (2019). Her art and writing are featured in Posthuman Ecologies, edited by Rosi Braidotti and Simone Bignall, Rowman & Littlefield International (2019) and Investigating Cultures of Equality, Routledge (2022).
