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.
GAME OVER
TrashmaidBerlin
All parts of „GAME OVER“ are from beaches of the Greek island of Kefalonia. The sculpture addresses the many problems of our interaction with plastic, an innocent child‘s toy suddenly seems threatening: sea and coasts are littered, sea creatures die from eating plastic or from injuries caused by it, plastic ends up on our plates through the food chain. We are murderers and at the same time commit suicide if we do not change. Plastic needs to get out of the oceans.
