In 2019 she co-curated the research, performance and exhibition project Soil is an Inscribed Body: On Sovereignty and Agropoetics at SAVVY Contemporary, Berlin with Elena Agudio.

Since September 2023 she has been the adjunct curator for art and ecology at Tate in the HTRC:T research centre. Marleen regularly teaches at art schools and was a senior lecturer on the BA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art in 2023/24. She recently started a postdoctoral fellowship at Kew Gardens, London researching how artists can work within botanic gardens with a particular focus on social and climate justice.
