Ticket-holders to kipli paywuta lumi will be led on a walk through the bush at the Trevallyn Nature Reserve.

They will be listening to a soundscape of spoken palawa kani - Tasmanian Aboriginal language - and other fragments, composed by Koori sound artist Anna Liebzeit.

They will then arrive at a specially-designed domed hut designed by Aboriginal architect Samantha Rich, and will be invited to share a meal created Tasmanian Aboriginal catering company palawa kipli.

Facilitator Zoe Rimmer said it will be a full sensory experience.

"I hope people learn a little bit about Tasmanian Aboriginal culture, but not from a textbook or a museum exhibition-type thing - it's about experiencing the culture, and interacting with each other, being in the space and taking it all in," she said.

Tasmanian Aboriginal culture is distinct in many ways from mainland culture, a byproduct of the island being cut off from the mainland for thousands of years prior to invasion.

A third of Mona Foma attendees come from interstate for the festival, and Ms Rimmer said they could learn something unexpected at kipli paywuta lumi.

"I think people will especially be surprised to learn about traditional Tasmanian architecture, which is what originally inspired this project - that traditional domed hut, which most people don't realise were even made here, let alone that people lived in them in little villages," she said.

"There's this perception that people in Tasmania were just, you know, wandering around.

"People survived here through two ice ages. They had to have some pretty clever, well-built homes to survive that."

kipli paywuta lumi, which takes its name from the Tasmanian Aboriginal language of palawa kani, means "food to sustain us" or "food across time".

The dinner will run at 5.30pm on January 17 and 18 in groups of 30, $100 including bus transfer from Inveresk.

The hut and soundscape without dinner will be open 10am to 5pm January 17 to 19 at no cost, with a break between 12pm and 2pm on the Saturday.
