SUMMARY:Tour | With Lily O'Shea at Muine Bheag Arts
DESCRIPTION:\nMuine Bheag Arts is thrilled to welcome artist Lily O’Shea 
 as part of COMMUNE. Lily will present a new body of work\, a framework for
  me and you\, which responds to conditions of precarity within the context
  of the housing crisis and points towards alternative ways of looking at s
 pace and home.\n\n\n\nLily will lead a tour of her public sculpture series
 \, along with a reading by Ali O’Shea who has written a text in response
  to the work. This will be followed by an open discussion with members of 
 CATU.\n\n\n\nMore information and booking here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/

 based in Cork\, working across sculpture\, drawing\, and writing. Through 
 woodwork\, she creates quasi-sculptural forms that develop into immersive 
 installations\, integrating technical drawings and reflective texts. Lily
 ’s research-based practice explores different methods of survival in a f
 luctuating ideological structure\, while emphasizing the need to reclaim a
 nd redefine our relationship with time.\n\n\n\nIn 2025\, Lily was awarded 
 the Evolve Practice Award by Fire Station Artists’ Studios\, where she c
 ompleted a three-month residency. Recent work has featured in Bless The Co
 rners of This House (Bloomers\, Cork\, 2025)\, The Collision Project (scre
 en service\, Dublin\, 2024)\, and CCA Introducing (Centre for Contemporary
  Art\, Derry\, 2024). Lily is a recent recipient of the Visual Arts Bursar
 y and Agility Award (2024)\, and was previously supported by the Creative 
 Practitioner Bursary from Galway City Council in 2023.\n\n\n\nCommunity Ac
 tion Tenants Union (CATU) is a membership-based Union for Communities &amp
 \; Tenants in Ireland with active branches across the country. CATU was fo
 unded in Dublin in 2019 by a few dozen tenants\, to help share resources a
 nd skills to empower themselves and their neighbours facing eviction\, hom
 elessness and housing precarity.\n\n\n\nCOMMUNE is kindly supported by the
