The Unseen Histories of Muine Bheag - Rory Mullen

The Unseen Histories of Muine Bheag is a collection of stories by Rory Mullen. Listen as our narrator uncovers a series of lost tapes which each tell a tale of the town of Muine Bheag. The stories are wryly told by an unlikely cast of local characters. This episode follows on from a performance by Rory Mullen, which took place as part of the Grass Roots programme in 2021. Rory Mullen is an artist and set designer based in London. He graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from the University of Salford, Manchester in 2016. His practice explores folklore and narrative through performance, sculpture, drawing and installation. He takes an ad-hoc approach to making, adapting and transforming everyday materials to create playful assemblages and large scale sculptural works. Recent projects include: DAY OUT, 2-person exhibition at D/ARTS, London (2024), set design for Simone Rocha, Spring Summer Collection (2023) and Greetings from Ireland, collaboration with Robyn Lynch at NOW Gallery, London (2023).
