Before moving to Brno in 2006 Barbora used to work at A4 - Zero Space from its inception in 2004. She was involved in running the Summer Open Academy (Bratislava) and Urban Re/Creation/Citylab (Bratislava) projects. She also organised a number of workshops, including Urban reset (Bratislava/Brno), Living Vandalism (Brno), and Cool Place, a series of short participatory documentaries made by young people about the places that create their living space. Between 2009-12, she worked at The Brno House of Arts (off-program dramaturgy, production, fundraising, event management), and co-organised and co-curated Remake / REthinking Media Art in K(C)ollaborative Environments, an international art project aimed in creation and presentation of new works inspired by the history of media arts (2010-12). For the project she edited a catalogue and a special issue of 3/4 magazine on media art history, "Remake". Since September 2012 she works on freelance basis.

Barbora is a co-founder of 4AM Forum for Architecture and Media association (2010) which ran the Gallery of Architecture in Brno (2011-2012). Since February 2013 the association was based in an old railway building in the southern city of Brno (Rosická 1) [1], and in October 2014 it started a new culture space with café in the centre of Brno, PRAHA/forum for architecture and media (2014-2019).

In March 2013, Barbora co-curated the Hi5! exhibition in cooperation with Croatian artist and curator Slaven Tolj in The Brno House of Arts. The exhibiton mapped out the current work and ideas of students in Fine Arts study programs in Czech arts schools (photographs by Jiří Hloušek).
