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.
Ode to the Seas
Ana Torres
Photo documentation project of a family-run fishery in Angeiras, Portugal. Nowadays, large-scale fishing industries affect not only marine conservation – water pollution, habitat degradation – but also bring up social problems, such as unfair competition for small fishing families. This project aims to raise awareness of small-scale family-run fisheries and to highlight that a fair balance between human activity in the seas and marine resources is possible. It is a matter of respect. This photographic project will culminate in an open exhibition in Vila do Conde, Portugal.
