Dark MOFO is the annual Winter festival hosted by the team at MONA (the Museum of Old and New Art). This festival celebrates traditional winter solstice rituals and raises questions on ancient and contemporary mythology, humans and nature, religious and secular traditions, birth, death, and renewal. It's important to keep an open mind when it comes to Dark MOFO - there is lots to see, do, and absorb, and it can be quite confronting, thought-provoking, exhilarating, underwhelming, overwhelming, or just a bit weird!
