Ancestral Tunnel

The tunnel is a sacred entrance into a world where the ancestral still lives. More than a physical passage, it is a ritual threshold—a symbolic corridor that leads us from the everyday into a space of deep memory, where symbols, textures, and the voices of the past reside. Constructed with natural and repurposed materials, the tunnel reflects MTN Bushfire’s commitment to sustainability not just as a practice, but as a principle. Every element speaks to a respectful relationship with the earth, aligning with the festival’s vision of responsible creation and conscious celebration. Sustainability here is not decoration it is intention, echoing the belief that art and action must walk hand in hand.

The Tunnel of the Ancestors is a work of ephemeral engineering, conceived to merge art and structure within a temporary format. Its design was based on principles of modularity and rapid assembly, using recycled and natural materials that ensure both stability and ease of dismantling. This construction demonstrates how temporality can be managed with technical precision, guaranteeing safety and functionality while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability and the audience’s immersive experience.
