[2] De Souza graduated from University of New South Wales in Art and Design where she exhibited with fellow artist Anna John in The Private Lives of Ups and Downs in 2007.

De Souza's international picnic project Temporary Spaces, Edible Places began in 2014 at the Delfina Foundation, London.

The exhibition displayed all the hallmarks of her work including temporal structures using ready-made materials and site-specific events that invited participation from local residents; migrant as well as indigenous, including those who had recently moved into the community.
