There are many facets to Dark Mofo that make it such a complete and engaging festival. There is of course the art, which this year was as strange and confusing as ever.

Winter can be an awful season, it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dark, it’s miserable. It can also be bloody fantastic if the local artists and their community put on a festival to celebrate the Winter solstice. Dark Mofo is Hobart’s celebration of all things dark and just plain out there. It runs for 10 days … More A light in the darkness
Last weekend was a particularly eventful one in Pardubice with arguably the biggest event of the calender, the Velka Pardubice taking place.
