We have great news that we have been waiting to share with our community.

Our young makers, ashleyho+domeniknaue, are the winners of the Young Jury Award from Fast Forward Festival which took place in Dresden in 2025.

During the Fast Forward Festival ashleyho+domeniknaue presented their work called last portrait a piece that some of you might have seen or heard of before.
Writer Natascha Tripney wrote a small text on the work of ashleyho+domeniknaue and we wanted to share it with our readers.

“Fittingly, given its focus on the young and new, Fast Forward also has a youth jury who also get to present an award. They opted for the gently compelling Last Portrait by Dutch duo Ashley Ho and Domenik Naue, describing it – accurately – as the most tender show of the festival. This deeply intimate piece was as much an installation as it was a performance. The set consists of a collection of familial artefacts – pill bottles, letters, photos – a personal museum.”
