Mountains Underwater: Mingulay is an immersive installation presented by Austrian artist Mara Marxt and Tyler Lewis at this year’s Hidden Door Festival. Mingulay is a remote Scottish island home to a massive bird colony. The work combines soundscapes from the island – a cacophony of birds calling, creaking and growling echoes much like a swimming pool hall.

Hidden Door is an arts organisation which aims to open up urban spaces as a platform for new and emerging artists, musicians, theatre makers, film makers and poets. Through organising temporary events Hidden Door works to showcase new work and create engaging environments for the public to experience, explore and discover.

Hidden Door is volunteer run and not for profit, with the festival funded through ticket sales, sponsorship and fundraising. Hidden Door also applies for grants and any money received goes straight back into the festival and its creative contributors.
