Every second Wednesday, MOHA walks through the Pottenberg district with a pink flag and a cart full of merchandise, adorned with the words: ‘Golf course, Spa and more’. Armed with a megaphone, they address the neighbourhood in an uninterrupted stream of words full of energy, love and commitment. Visual artist Paulien Oltheten accompanies them for a few days and focuses her lens on this special routine. She captures the careful encounters and the boundless power with which MOHA invites people to reflect on their surroundings and each other.

These walks are part of the broader art project We live here, who cares. Led by MOHA, in collaboration with Cultuurmakers Maastricht, SoAP Maastricht, VIA ZUID and Woonpunt, the theme of care is explored in the Maastricht district of Pottenberg. From a flat that will be demolished at the end of 2023 and from April 2024 from an apartment on Kleistraat, the artists explore subjects such as housing, neighbourhood care and the feeling of being at home.

The film shown during Winternights offers an intimate look at MOHA’s work and the meaningful interactions their walks create. It is an invitation to join in and witness the caring energy they bring to a neighborhood in transition.
