Born in a tiny southern town in Russia, Aks Huckleberry is a young filmmaker and a portrait photographer, who spent her most formative years in London. She prefers not to be based anywhere right now; continuously moving from one destination to another.
Late last year we partnered with Ello to launch an initiative to support new talent through a series of grants aimed at helping creatives advance their art and craft. Aks is the final Hero from our three first year grant winners and we’re excited to catch up with her to take a closer look at what inspires her and the process behind her work.

David Mrugala, Designer, Korea
Hate In-Situ by David Mrugala wins Fresh 19's Art Best in Book prize. Exploring unique patterns of hate and anger through vocal expressions and generative design. Recorded during the Hate Festival in Korea, each audiovisual is an isolated circular artifact of hate and critical to the interpretation and, consequently, of the culture and the experiences of the people that formed it. The series is in progress and based on discussions regarding the definition, expression and aesthetics of emotions though audiovisuals. The visuals are made with code (Processing).

Aiste Stancikaite, Illustrator, Germany
A self-initiated series of coloured pencil portraits. Adding a surreal twist to a very realistic drawing to make it much more engaging and unusual. These red figures almost become beautiful, alien creatures rather than everyday humans you’d meet on the street.
Lithuanian-born, Berlin-based Aiste Stancikaite often pairs precise pencil drawings with abstract uses of both digital and traditional mediums, to create images with a focus on detail and texture. For her impressive work she was awarded a Gold in Illustration and a Best in Book mention at this year’s Fresh Future showcase.

John Robert Brown, Photographer, UK
John Robert Brown on his Photography Best in Book Entry 'In the Middle of Chandi Chowk Road’: An ongoing project documenting people passing time on the concrete blockade that separates the dual carriageway that is Chandi Chowk Road, the main thoroughfare that runs through Old Delhi, India.
Old Delhi market surrounds this road with an abundance of tiny streets leading off it, always busy and bustling with life. The blockade / island, even though in some way is just as intense, has become a sanctuary to these people as a moment of calm in the storm. Capturing a moment of stillness is no easy task and John Robert Brown has succeeded in doing that.
