What does mofo mean on facebook

An arts festival renowned for showcasing shocking and provocative works has cancelled plans to soak a British flag in donated Aboriginal blood following a massive backlash.

Festival organisers invited expressions of interest for First Nations people who'd been colonised by the British Empire to donate their blood to the cause. The project received some support from local Tasmanian Aboriginal groups — but prompted outrage among other Indigenous people across the country, including artists, musicians and academics. Meanwhile, multiple MONA staff, including the artistic director of the museum's summer festival, launched scathing criticisms of the planned work — and the decision to commission it.

On Tuesday — just hours after Dark Mofo artistic director Leigh Carmichael declared the show would go ahead — he posted to the festival's Facebook page saying he had "made a mistake".

In the end the hurt that will be caused by proceeding isn't worth it. The project will be cancelled. Before the cancellation, the plan to soak the flag was overwhelmingly condemned by Indigenous people on social media. Singer Kira Puru and cook Julia Busuttil Nishimura also expressed disapproval, and Noongar writer and academic Cass Lynch wrote extensively about the issue. On its own, it leans into the glorification of the gore and violence of colonisation".

Shortly after the work was announced, Carmichael defended Santiago's work and the Union Flag piece, saying in a statement they'd been "overwhelmed with responses" to the call for blood to be donated.

Today — before the festival backdown — Brian Ritchie, the artistic director of Mona Foma — the museum's summer festival — described the Sierra work as a "gimmick and publicity stunt disguised as mediocre artwork". He could never have imagined that 40 years later, he would be building businesses and inspiring so many to people to shift their lives to experience more love, joy, freedom, wealth, and community.

But other representatives of the TAC and Aboriginal community hailed the piece as a chance to raise awareness of a difficult past. About 3, people turned out on Thursday night to watch the artist enter the chamber.

The artist will speak about his experience at the University of Tasmania on Tuesday. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.
