Píosa ealaíona idirghabhálach is ea DÍON i bhfreagairt don ghéarchéim tithíochta leanúnach ar na hoileáin seo. Is cuireadh é chun foscadh; is dialóg é le tionscadal ealaíona sóisíalta atá ar siúl i mbliana ar Oileán Chléire. Beidh DÍON ag imeacht ar ais go Chléire mar díon do spás pobail nua tógtha leis an bpobal áitiúil agus ar a son ar shuíomh fothrach stairiúil. DÍON is an interventionist artwork built in response to the ongoing housing crisis on these islands. It is an invitation to shelter; in dialogue with an ongoing socially engaged art project taking place this year on Oileán Chléire. DÍON will return to Oileán Chléire and form the roof of a new community space built with and for the local community on the site of a historic ruin.
