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.
Re/Rooting: Multi-Media and Multi-Sensory Urban...
Lauren Uba
Re/Rooting is a free online public workshop that aims to explore and deepen our connection to our urban environment, encourage optimism about the future of our cities, and foster an eagerness to collaboratively pursue these futures. We begin with a guided, placed-based meditation to reground and refocus our attention on the positive experiences and emotions we experience in cities. As we sharpen our awareness of which aspects of our cities we would like to further connect with - whether those are feelings or specific places - we engage in a participatory sensemaking process to visualize positive futures for our urban environment while activating multiple mediums and senses. The outcome of this workshop is a collaborative, co-created, multi-media collage connecting us to the urban environment around us.
