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.
Life Through Loofah
Noor Taan
An environment friendly, zero waste installation that focuses on experimenting with a natural indigenous material : Loofah. My project is a human scale womb, taking new shapes and functions, developing every-time it meets a new audience who interacts with it. I was inspired to build this installation with the rebirth concept, every-time it's experienced in a space it’s reborn again with new human experiences. It’s constructed using 500 loofah pieces representing a skin, a raw and secure space for pureness and innocence, states in which we are born before stepping foot into the outside world.
