About us
MOH is a feminist and transfeminist relational space where social responsibility activities are developed and experimented through artistic mediation and communication, in Bari (Italy).
We act on these areas
Youth Mobility
Taking part in experiences abroad such as the European Solidarity Corps has a positive impact on young people: personally, professionally and in terms of openness to others.
Art Mediation
We use art as a tool and practice for promoting equality and gender equality.
Digital Communication
We work on the creation of digital content for young people from 18 to 30 years of age ɜ favouring the dissemination of bottom-up information.
We follow the design, financing, organisation and implementation of projects carried out with local, European or international funding and grants.

Read our manifesto
MOH is a feminist and transfeminist relational space where social responsibility activities are developed and experimented through artistic mediation and communication. We work for the training of young people and youth workers with the aim of promoting practices of care in different forms.
MOH rejects the exclusivity of binary gender roles, gender stereotypes and discrimination, toxic masculinity, patriarchal force fields and hierarchical relationships; it facilitates the free expression and self-determination of each person, the experimentation of innovative practices in the field of gender policies and education on relationships, affectivity, differences.
MOH aims to deconstruct the violent narrative at the basis of all forms of discrimination and especially to deconstruct the stereotypes underlying gender and gender-based violence through a double action: on the one hand, we deal with facilitating youth mobility also as a moment of encounter with cultural, language, geographic origin, ability and sexual orientation differences. On the other hand, through workshops, educational activities, artistic campaigns, awareness-raising and communication activities, alliances with the territory and European projects. Both at national and local level, we have initiated workshops and activities that have explored strongly intertwined contexts of intervention: education and training; the narration of violence through the media; sexism; issues concerning bodies, territories and urban spaces.
We practise and claim a non-formal and informal pedagogical approach, which denies formal education as the only source of learning and seeks to disrupt the power roles that are internal to it. Our approach is based on anti-classist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, non-hetero-normative and non-confessional principles, on an interdisciplinary and intersectional gaze, capable of providing immediate tools for the transformation of reality. “A lens that allows us to look at the set of differences that make up subjectivities, recognising the combined action that operates on people’s lives. This is why we speak of education to a plurality, potentially infinite, of differences”.
