Camacho has published in national and international journals. [3] In 2016, she published the book of aphorisms Zona Franca. Camacho has stated that some of her aphorisms are inspired by "how ordinary people speak, those who know nothing about language and, what's more, believe they can't explain themselves and yet they explain themselves better than anyone else, they possess a powder keg of economy of language, poetry, freedom, rhythm, workmanship, in short, effectiveness". [4]
Throughout her career, Camacho has worked in the area between words and the arts. She has developed works of stage poetry, theatrical adaptations, and various projects in collaboration with photographers, painters, illustrators, musicians, and other artists from various disciplines. Among her works is Toma de Tierra, in which she combines her spoken word texts with the cante jondo of Juan Murube and the contemporary dance of Raquel López Lobato. Under preparation is a spoken word piece, created with the rocker, Dogo. [5]
