Abotcha: Construction of the Mediateca building
In collaboration with Hering – Stiftung Natur und Mensch, Ajuda-heißt Hilfe e.V., Geba Filmes, elsehere e.V., No Ria Bolanha / APEE e Satna Fai
In February 2021 the community of Malafo started the construction of the Mediateca building designed collectively under the orientation of architect Marinho de Pina. Following the various conversations and previous workshops, the concept behind the design of the Mediateca echoes traditional and colonial architecture resulting in what Marinho de Pina called the 6-rooms house. The design places two buildings next to each other and between them a covered open space serves as a communal area for gatherings. The construction was possible by bringing together a team of experts, workers and cooks from Malafo and neighbouring villages and thanks to the generous contribution of our funders.
