Collection of images of Dark Mofo, Hobart, Tasmania. Dark Mofo is an annual festival of music and art that has attracted a major cult following in the Australian arts festival circuit. The festival celebrates the winter solstice, and embraces a heavy influence from pagan themes and rituals. The program is comprised of avant-garde and contemporary art installations, performances, music and public events - including the winter feast, purification ritual burning of the ogoh-ogoh and a mass nude swim in the Derwent River. As the darker counterpart to the Museum of Old and New Art's summertime MONA FOMA festival, Dark Mofo has courted numerous controversies since its inception in 2013. Dark Mofo is widely considered to be a major vehicle for the 'MONA effect' that has impacted the Tasmanian economy and Australian arts scene.
