She will be represented at the Artorama fair in Marseille at the end of August 2022.

Aziz Hazara
Main Prize
Aziz Hazara, a young artist based in Berlin and Kabul, Afghanistan, is this year’s winner of the Future Generation Art Prize, a global art prize for artists under 35, established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009. Hazara won for his video installation Bow Echo (2019), which was featured in the 2020 edition of the Biennale of Sydney. In the five-screen work, young boys are shown ascending treacherous mountaintops, where they blow plastic bugles amid windy conditions. Hazara has said the work is a response to the resistance of the local community within Kabul, where he was born and which has been war-torn since U.S. military intervention began in 2001.

House on the Hill by Alison Brooks Architects
RIBA House of the Year
The winning house designed by Alison Brooks Architects consists of two distinct elements, an art-filled black extension and a Georgian farmhouse that was converted into a double-height gallery space. "This geometric design skilfully fuses together the old with the new – connecting two architectures separated by over 300 years," said Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) president Simon Allford. Spaces to display artworks were created throughout the house. Along with the dedicated gallery space, there are numerous nooks and a staircase designed as a mini gallery to display works, which holds 100 pieces.

Puppies Puppies
Toby’s Prize
Jade Kuriki Olivo, who works under the moniker Puppies Puppies, has won Toby’s Prize, a biennial award given out by the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland in Ohio. Since her transition in 2018, Puppies Puppies has dealt head-on with her identity as a mixed trans woman, and her work has increasingly begun to ponder the realities of being a queer person of color. She has also teased a change soon to come in her art. A 2021 exhibition at the Kunsthaus Glarus in Switzerland bore a lengthy title that concluded with: "Trying not to let my trauma take over but still be kind to yourself Jade. This is the end of a decade • a new way of working coming soon. Sincerely, Jade Kuriki Olivo."
