She was part of numerous exhibitions, campaigns and projects in Switzerland and abroad, and has worked on and shown many solo performances. Barbara Naegelin's works play with current and personal topics, artist images and gender roles , popular research, elements from the entertainment industry and music culture, which she brings into tension with the movements and dimensions of her person and the framework of the media . Barbara Naegelin is looking for collaboration, but also likes to work solo with videos and in performances. In 1997 she was co-author of the First Manifesto of Great and Respected Women Artists .

As an internationally known gang from Basel, they formed during the youth and women's movement of the 1980s with the intention of questioning traditional art and gender boundaries. In 2001, together with Iris Beatrice Baumann & Tina Z'Rotz, she founded Butch & Baumann, a music performance group that became very well known in the Basel art context and was active until 2011.
