Keg de Souza

De Souza's international picnic project Temporary Spaces, Edible Places began in 2014 at the Delfina Foundation, London.[4] Later that year she was invited to the Isle of Skye by ATLAS Arts to present the work.[5] The project then travelled to the Contemporary Gallery, Vancouver and the AC Institute, New York.[6][7][8] In each location, the artist focused on local culture and foods to explore her interest in the politics of food and space in pedagogical learning processes.[8][9]

"People often gather in spaces around food, and I want to draw on that tendency in order to have my explorations of food grounded in discussion and sharing". Keg de Souza[10]

In July 2018, Keg de Souza first institutional solo exhibition 'Common Knowledge and Learning Curves' opened at Artspace Sydney from 29 Jul 2018 until 12 Aug 2018.
