Her zines were featured in “Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines” at the Brooklyn Museum in the "Queer & Feminist Undergrounds" exhibition. Splan has held academic appointments at Stanford Universit. Her public workshops have been hosted by the Fredrickson Family Innovation Lab, Tang Teaching Museum, and Coalesce Center for Biological Arts.
