Change of Address
Change of Address is a collective formed by artists Moira Brady Averill, Oonagh Murphy and Maeve Stone in 2015 to increase visibility and raise awareness of the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in Irish society.
We foster friendships by facilitating ongoing fun and social events for those currently and formerly in the asylum process, local communities and youth groups. We want to form new communities by getting everyone playing together, talking together and eating together. Building relationships is at the core of our practice.
Over four years the collective has produced a wide range of events including staging a verbatim production called The Mouth of a Shark for Where We Live Festival, Trophy, a storytelling installation in collaboration with STO union, I-dentity, a peer to peer support network for LGBT asylum seekers, Strong Song, a choral collaboration with Spirasai (support services for survivors of torture).
