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.

Isolated within themselves, man receives an invitation from a new virus to see an opportunity to transform his being, his conscience. We are experiencing an opportunity for growth, evolution; a rescue of our roots, our ancestry. The central idea of the series is to show the return of the man to the wise place where he came from. It is to remember that the connection between man and nature can also be present in the 21st century, in the midst of so many modernities. We are being invited to realize that man continues to be a man, to have his simple daily life, but he will also be able to connect his mind and body to nature, living in harmony and respect. Return! Nature is within us, we are sapiens, just one of thousands of species that share the same environment.
