In 2017, Boullosa was an artist in residence at the ChacalArt Residency for printmaking and held printmaking workshops for the local school children in that area. [21]
Boullosa has done activism art, to draw attention to violence against women and victims of femicide, in her work " Flores vivas y flores muertas" ( living flowers and dead flowers), which was exhibited in Tlaxcala, Mexico. [22] As well as her exhibition in 2018, "Nothing-Nobody" in which she addresses the kidnapping and violence against women in Veracruz, Mexico. [23] She also has given work to benefit the conversation project in El Charco, Mexico. [24]
