Leigh Carmichael will step down as the creative director of the Dark Mofo festival after the 2023 event. The founding creative director of the popular Hobart festival says the art world is no longer a "safe space" and he is concerned about its future. This follows the controversy over the 2021 Dark Mofo, which was to have featured an artwork by Spanish artist Santiago Sierra. It comprised a British flag soaked in blood donated by Indigenous people from across the world. The resulting backlash included allegations of racism, and the artwork was cancelled.
