Beyond Desert
Art for a Healing World – MONA
The desert devours everything, except the eyes that gaze upon the starry sky.
The Mona Art Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to fusing art, science and technology to raise awareness for mental health and explore the healing powers of art.

We cannot predict tomorrow, but we can choose how we dance today. The Mona Foundation invites you to join us amid the noise and chaos of life—to stay curious, to keep questioning, to burn our fears into ashes, and to hold love endlessly in our hearts.

Die,Mona,DIE!
A Journey Through Uncertainty and Wonder
A documentary that traces the life journey of a Chinese woman from the rural Sichuan countryside to the Burning Man festival in the U.S. She uses art to search, dream, and build a home in the desert—a shared exploration of the human experience.
Mona and Burning Man
For several years, Mona has been deeply involved in Burning Man art projects, being the first female Chinese honoraria recipient, constantly exploring and innovating, creating multiple large-scale sculptures. Over these years, she has assembled a team of experienced Burners from diverse disciplines and countries around the globe, who are not only veteran participants, organizers and leaders, but also staunch advocates and disseminators of its core principles.
