Moha’s name comes from Hungarian, it means moss. They chose this name to reflect the desire to embody a moss like quality which grows and expands even in the most unexpected conditions.  

This multiplicity and various perspectives that form MOHA is something they will reflect on and explore during their residency with us.

Moha is an Amsterdam-based artist collective formed by Alice Pons (France) and Olivia Reschofsky (Hungary). The two met while studying at the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam. Quickly after they graduate, and because of the big funding cut, the street became their platform to develop and show their work.

Being present in public space is Moha’s most important tool. Through their projects, Alice and Olivia create connections between the art field and other disciplines. Moha becomes the bridge linking un-obvious fields and people together. As part of this mission, Moha’s uses art as a tool to design these encounters. Alice and Olivia work with specific communities and immerse themselves in new environments by becoming neighbors, working as nurses or maintaining graves. They shatter personal bubbles and connect with the day-to-day realities of people they may not otherwise encounter.

Last June Moha got nominated for the DNA Next prize with the concept for Who Cares?
