She has curated and facilitated workshops on music and sound improvisation and collaborative composition with people from diverse backgrounds and life paths, locally and internationally, namely Beit AlMusica in Palestine, La Sonora in Argentina, and Drum Works in the United Kingdom, as well as the Korydallos Prison Complex, the Organization Against Drugs (OKANA), various schools, and hospice, health care, and detention facilities in Attica, Greece.

"They are the inner voices, the spirits that animate, the ghosts crawling behind closed eyes. They have always been there, originate from deep down and come and go with the tides of emotions; They whisper through the electronic waves; doorway for unspoken words quietly waiting to be born. They closely watched the wind amplifying its howl through the crack of a door, the vehemence of the waterfall when it hits the stone, the vociferous statement of a mountain in its avalanche. They learnt and chose to replicate running through the wires of machines. Spirits do dream, and this is a translation of their dreams. From the soothing ones, to the nightmares, to the incomprehensible impressions of a world obeying different sonic laws."

PÖ released her debut album “Cociage” under the label Hakuna Kulala in March 2023. A universe filled with tracks that range from ghostly ambient to post punk polyphonies. An expression of the darker and more introspective side of her and a statement of independence and multiplicity that evokes her own identity.
