Recent published texts include the reading performance “The emergence of a manifesto for the art worker, the defeated and the silent” (2020); “I am (also) Adam Smiths mother - scenes from this world and the intertwined structures of hidden economies” in Free Berlin (2018). She has published the booklet series “Your Money or Your Life - feminists perspectives on economy # 1-4” (2016). Skou holds a MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts Funen (DK).
