During 2009/10 she co-produced and managed Coastal Currents, Hastings Borough Council's annual arts festival which takes place during September in Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea. In 2010 she curated Place: interventions across landscape, space and memory which featured 33 artists in this core visual arts programme for Coastal Currents. Christine Gist has initiated numerous cross-border exchanges and in 2010 curated 'From A to B'. This three site project in Dover town centre took place during September/October 2010 and featured new interventions from artists in France and the UK.

The artists created new place-specific works and led workshops at Romney Marsh Visitor Centre as part of the Folkestone Triennial Fringe 2011. As both an artist and curator, her practice is concerned with temporary interventions which utilise redundant urban sites and buildings, animating these locations to create alternative narratives for anonymous spaces.
