Mona’s Festival of Music and Arts (Mona Foma) has established its presence in Launceston since 2019, and in nipaluna/Hobart and surrounds since 2008. In 2023 the ‘hub’ venue for the Launceston Old TAFE Sessions was the reUNION district, Old TAFE buildings and courtyard, which hosted food, three stages, a ‘sonic’ library and many ‘classrooms’ to explore.
Also with a local focus, the Complaints Choir led by Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, took on a rebellious tone by singing out audience-supplied grievances about Launceston.
