She has been involved with curatorial projects such as Sugar & Spice – A Literary Showcase (part of AWARE),[12] and was a featured author in Singapore Writers Festival 2012.[13][14]

Of her art, Tania De Rozario states that she has "always been interested in starting conversations about sex, gender and sexuality through art and writing. . .the quickest way to engage people is to come from personal places of love, loss and desire. . .when people are able to relate to certain common aspects of relationships, gender becomes a secondary issue." Tania adds that she wishes to "create spaces in which people can approach gender and sexuality from points of commonality, not difference."[15]

In 2014, Tania's Tender Delirium (Math Paper Press, 2013) was shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize.
