She has read her poems in several places of the Catalan Countries, often in collaboration with other poets and musicians. A short film, Radio-Taxi directed by Jordi Bueno was based on one of her short stories. Also as a cultural activist, she has promoted several projects about poetry such as the poetical and musical meetings in Lailo, during five years, and the Festa de la poesia a Sitges she directs along with the poet and biochemist Joan Duran i Ferrer since 2007.
She has been included with Pere Gimferrer, Maria-Mercè Marçal and Jaume Pont as part of an anthology of four poets included in a study devoted to Catalan literature in number 1007 of the French literary magazine Europe.

In autumn 2013, Myriam Solal and Editions du Noroît finally reached an agreement to publish On no sabem as Cet espace entre nous, translated by the poet and translator François-Michel Durazzo. The presentation took place on 5 June 2014 at the Maison de l'Amérique latine in Paris.
