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.
Desolation

It's a piece (Sculpture) made of newspaper (50kg) wrapped with product labels collected in the community of Perez Zeledon during a month. It's a project of De_Buzos, an iniciative of making art with garbage. This piece is a photo montage with the actual sculpture in it. This picture was taking downtown. This picture represents the relationship between consumerism and the garbage we produce. From our point of view and the reality of garbage mishandling in our community we can say that people don't really know what to do with all the garbage we produce. Through our work we could send a message to local governments that recycling is not enough we need more education about it and proper final destination of the garbage.
