Dee Mulrooney is a multi-disciplinary Irish artist. Inhabiting a female body and all that it entails is the main preoccupation of her work. Exile, class, displacement, social history, longing and belonging are some of the themes explored by Dee, through various media, including painting, drawing, film, storytelling, and performance. Her art is fiercely authentic, and she leaves no stone of her own personal healing journey unturned. Dee works with the alchemical aspect of transmutation in her art, using this process to deal with difficult topics, including, abuse, death and loss. Dee’s performance art is provocative and has a political point to make, highly social, collaborative and community building. She is driven by story and symbolism, how we remember and interpret history and women’s role and their bodies within that. She exhibits and performs regularly and had an award-winning show at Edinburgh Fringe 2023.
