In Spring 2010, CityArts recolated to its new permanent home on 15 Bachelor’s Walk in Dublin’s city centre. To mark this, Manchester artist Qasim Riza Shaheen was commissioned by CityArts and curator Liz Burns, to research and develop a new body of work that would respond to the local area and context. Based in Dublin for six months in 2009, Qasim Riza Shaheen worked with some members of the transgendered Filipino community, developing the project Liliquoi Blue: God made me a boy . The completed work consists of three video adaptations entitled Father I have sinned I, II and III, and an accompanying publication.
