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.
Forest

In this work of bioart, the colors of the plants were extracted by a chemical process, making color and form be separate. This images discuss our imaginary about the forests, about the green, about the artificial process with nature, and about how we think about the environment as a material and not as a living being who has a soul. The work was made through the connections between art and science. With a collaboration of the scientist Eduardo Padilha, we are facing the art as "scientific communication", as a way to inform people and inspire they to think about the relations with enviroment trough a more deeply approach and reflection. Using scientific process the public try to extract informations from the images. But the art symbolims of the work also can be catched at the same time. We believe that this bioart works can use the approach of the art and of the science to inspire people to engage in a more social approach to enviroment and the beings that inhabit.
