There’s a place where winter descends not in silence, but in fire.Where pagan ritual meets contemporary provocation.Where art burns, bodies gather, and the night stretches longer than reason.

This is Dark Mofo — Tasmania’s midwinter festival of the uncanny, the sacred, and the profane. It’s an emotional, sensory confrontation with winter and mortality, deeply tied to MONA’s philosophy of shaking people out of complacency. It returns this year — wilder, colder, and more electric than ever.

With Red Wild Winter, Raskuan takes you to the edge of the world, and the edge of yourself. Think processions lit only by flame. Midnight feasts. Immersive installations inside abandoned warehouses. Music that vibrates through bone.

And a cold, wild sea — into which thousands plunge, naked, at dawn.

Meet the minds behind the madness. Dine in forgotten places. And retreat each night into spaces of considered warmth, design, and restoration.

This is not chaos without care. Join this fully hosted and intricately curated experience, with a select circle of twenty-four, spanning Hobart’s creative underground, the elemental Tasmanian wilderness, threads of Palawa culture, and the mysterious pulse of MONA itself.

The experience will be limited. The fire, not so much.
