This edition of The CLASH House took place in the Peutz Hall on the ENCI site in Maastricht. The CLASH House serves as a showcase and development platform for designers working across fashion and performance disciplines. Through a creative coaching trajectory led by theatre-maker Nadîja Roza Broekhart and choreographer Laisvie Andrea Ochoa, and under the direction of Giovanni Brand, the designers explored alternative ways of making and presenting fashion.
Programme & Participants:
ULTRA-ORA – Après Nous: a post-flood society of new social classes — Distributors, Wetlanders, La CEOrenissima — where clothing reflects hidden agendas and adaptation.
Rakee Chen – Melody Atlas: an emotional journey through human life expressed via music-generated garments and movement.
POViS-I hid from depression and corporate capitalism and made a collection about cats: a poetic interpretation of a Litehuanian riddle, exploring the tension between forging one’s own path and the desire for traditional recognition.
Thibault Villard & Maxence Guenin – untitled (bassline II): a raw exploration combining textile research with handmade sound systems — a pop poem celebrating imperfection.
EMIRHAKIN × David Siepman – Once it’s a memory, it’s too late: a sensory performance navigating the architecture of breath, memory, and desire — a choreography of what cannot be spoken, unfolding through residue, leakage, and the refusal of closure.
