In her second performance at Le Guess Who?, Salogni presented a solo set dedicated to the works of Pauline Anna Strom. At the Linecheck Festival 2023, she performed "Music for Open Spaces", a project she collaborated on with Tom Relleen. This marked the project's second live performance, following its debut at Cafe Oto in London during the LP release.
In 2024, Salogni performed at the Meakusma Festival with Melos Kalpa, showcasing music from their album, Melos Kalpa. She also participated in the Robot Festival with Francesco Fonassi, where they premiered their collaborative work, Orafiroe.
Free Youth Orchestra Salogni founded and actively runs a charity called Free Youth Orchestra. This organisation provides free access to musical equipment and lessons through workshops led by local musicians. The charity's ethos focuses on learning through play and experimentation, welcoming all children regardless of their socio-economic background. It was established in memory of Tom Relleen. To support fundraising for the charity, Salogni collaborated with Floating Points on a remix of the Tomaga track "Intimate Intensity". This remix was released on Bandcamp through the Free Youth Orchestra site and accompanied by an original track titled "A Call from the Eaves", which was included in a special edition vinyl released by Phonica in 2023.
