Growler is Dee Mulrooney’s alter-ego and performance piece. She is an 81-year-old shamanic vulva exiled in Berlin.
Driven out of Dublin by rising rents and a poor quality of life, Growler has appointed herself the voice of the forgotten woman. Through Growler, Dee’s performances explore femininity, classism, displacement, religion, the female experience and Dublin’s social history.
Since the rise of the Me-Too movement, the female voice has been gathering momentum and power. Despite the universality of the female experience as a theme in art, it has been largely underexplored. Until now.
Using the vehicle of Growler, artist Dee Mulrooney delves into the depths of woman. The anonymity of the costume allows Growler to speak her mind on taboo topics like sexuality, religion, class and sexual violence.
Dee’s performance art is provocative and has a political point to make.
