All Thumbs Press is the name under which Keg de Souza publishes her books, prints and multiples. From zines, screenprints, offset and a variety of handbound artist books.

Keg is a Sydney based inter-disciplinary visual artist and anarchitect whose practice has been shaped by her educational background in both architecture and time-based art and her experiences through squatting and other such shenanigans. 

One of the key themes of her work is an investigation of spatial politics, both in the built environment and social space. She co-initiated the SquatSpace gallery in 2000. Once evicted from the squatted shopfront in 2001, SquatSpace has become a ‘spaceless’ organization and has produced a number of important projects investigating the politics of space in NSW including a fake real estate agency, unReal Estate, an annual anti-tropfest film festival night, Squatfest and the Redfern- Waterloo Tour of Beauty.  Keg also works with Zanny Begg as You Are Here –the name for their collaboration that uses art, curating, activism and writing to explore forms of critical spatial practice and social activism.

Some of the things she creates include organising events and exhibitions, making tiny handmade glow-in-the-dark zines to giant inflatables, in between animations, videos, talking books, discussion projects, social mappings, installations made entirely out of string and houses out of milk crates.
