Ayzoh! is an Italian-based, nonprofit media organization of documentary photographers, writers, designers, researchers, and explorers of all kinds dedicated to working alongside marginalized communities worldwide.
"The Coming Together" is a poetic exploration of love and freedom, inspired by philosopher Erich Fromm’s profound insights. Claudio Maria Lerario’s evocative photography captures Movimento Centrale’s performances, beautifully conveying humanity’s timeless quest for connection and liberation.
