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.
"bee-friends"
Anna Schamschula
The photo series “bee-friends” is studying wildflowers, which are also called as weeds and are destroyed with harmful poisons. Although these flowers care for the insects with sustenance and are an important part of our biodiversity. Some of these wild blossoms are less than 1 cm tall and their fascinating beauty can hardly be seen with the eye. In order to give these wonders of nature the opportunity to show their aesthetics, I looked at them through the macro lens and photographed them on a white background. This is how their uniqueness becomes visible. It is a journey of discovery into the beautiful and tiny world of wildflowers and their meaning of life.
