Since is also official mediator for the Concomitentes (New Patrons/Nouveaux Commanditaires) citizen art program in Spain sponsored by the Daniel & Nina Carasso Foundation (Madrid) that promote the creation of artworks that engage with their social context inviting civil society groups to become the citizen-commissioners of an artwork. Currently, she is working with functional diversity activists of Movement for Independent Life of Barcelona on the project Diversorium: a communal space in which to come together and celebrate human diversities and difference through cabaret, dance, workshops, talk and parties in a night club and a civic centre of the city.

Preciado and at the International Curatorial Training Program of Ecole du Magasin in Grenoble (FR); she holds a MA in Visual Arts/Historical & Artistic Heritage and graduated in Fine Arts both in Italy.
