Dee Mulrooney is an Irish multi-disciplinary artist based in Berlin, whose practice spans painting, drawing, film, storytelling, and performance. Her work is profoundly shaped by her lived experience as a woman, with recurring themes of identity, exile, class, and displacement. Dee addresses complex subjects such as abuse, loss, and trauma, employing art as a medium for transformation and reclamation. By highlighting underrepresented female experiences, her projects foster collective reflection and healing within the context of intersectional feminist discourse.

Dee's alter ego, Growler, is an 85-year-old vulva and in-betweenspace holder who navigates themes of sexuality, religion, and sexual violence. Growler embodies the archetype of the sacred clown, using her arresting theatrical rituals to challenge societal norms and articulate truths that are often left unspoken. Dee won the Lustrum award at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 for “Most unforgettable performance”. Since October 2022, Dee has collaborated with Heart of Glass, a community arts organisation in Liverpool, on a public commission concerning themes of displacement and grief.
