Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.
Natural Cycle
Chris Revelle
In February of 2007, the United Nation Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its Forth Assessment Report. The report stated that the warming of the climate system is indisputable and is dependent on carbon fuel intensity of human activities. The IPCC scientists reported that the climate change was not a natural cycle of the planet and that hotter temperatures and sea level rising “would continue for centuries.” The results of human activities would be an increase in heat waves, rainfall, drought, hurricanes, and high tides. The geoscientists at Princeton and Columbia have both acknowledged the danger of glacier melting and rising sea levels. They have estimated that if Greenland or the West Antarctic ice sheets melt, sea levels could rise by 20 feet (6 m). A series of map were created to show these devastating effects of future climate change and its result on sea levels. The maps display the changing coastlines of continents, countries and islands that will be affected by the estimated 6-meter rise in the world oceans.
