AZFA is going to create a very special set up at HMH Gallery Kunstereignisse, Ottensheimerstrasse 25, Linz-Urfahr;
to provide for a separate space to encounter the projects multiple dimensions and to facilitate interactive communication with the Tonga community in a slow way (as required by the still existing connectivity gap).
Mulonga.Net station is inviting to view + call + listen to the Tonga people as a unique African digital community. Various Austrian artists who have been involved in cultural exchange with the Tonga community in recent years are reflecting their encounters. Some computer work stations are encouraging direct communication via mulonga.net.
