MONA, the Museum of Old and New #Art in #Tasmania holds an annual winter festival, Dark Mofo which first arrived on the scene in 2013. The #festival aims to connect old winter solstice rituals whilst exploring the links with modern day mythology, celebrating dark through large-scale public art, food, film, music, light and noise.
Taking place from June 8-21 across Hobart, on Tasmania, with major exhibitions at the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), a public art playground at Dark Park, international musicians and artists performing around the city.
Much controversy is surrounding this years event in particular the planned killing of a bull in the Hermann Nitsch 150.Action which is scheduled for Saturday June 17. Nitsch has been a part of the Vienesse Actionist movement for over 50 years and is a highly respected international artist.
A number of events are free including the Hermann Nitsch 150.Action but they do require prior registration.
