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.

In a very remote past, and during almost infinite times for the human scale on Earth, many systems and living beings have developed. It was a phase of creation that generated extraordinary wealth, of incalculable value, commonly called Biodiversity. Man was also born out of this process and has always been part of it. Harmony reigned for a long time. Man has evolved and "civilized" himself. It has grown immeasurably, even far beyond the limits of what was reasonable for harmony to allow. It began to occupy the space of the others, and began to annihilate the Natural Heritage and began the process of extinction of the species. Vale dos Animais, the last stronghold of some species, the animals feel that their living space will really be annihilated and cry and scream.
