Á Tea For Two with Dee Mulrooney

Á*T*4*2#1The First Á Tea For Two has brought Áine around the virtual kitchen table with the inspiring and incredible Deirdre Mulrooney. Dee is an Irish artist, living and working in Berlin. She is oozing integrity, talent, and love. Her work comes from a deep well that both these two speak about wisely throughout the episode. The Cuppa ventures down and around the deep wells of Irish identity abroad to types of tea in Germany, Ireland and Australia and to the very Irish trait of working with the shadow. It then dives deeper into to Dee's journey to art through COVID and the slowing down of things to life speed. We learn about Dee as a teacher and about Dee's performance art piece, Growler and the fear she feels but does it anyways to show up in her art. Dee drops incredible gems as well as many laughs between the sisterhood at this cuppa. **********Dee Mulrooney was raised working-class in a small nation dominated by Catholicism and men, she now lives as a teacher, a mother, and an artist discovering the joy of playing with taboos and visions of female identity that would until all to recently have seen her locked away. Her projects span visual art, film, storytelling and theatre. Her influences are a long list—basically any woman who ever did a damned thing worth doing.Find out more about Dee through her website: http://deirdre-mulrooney.com/Facebook/Insta @DeeMulrooneyGrowler's Insta @growlerspeaksSupport the show
