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.
Entomological collection of the Diptera laboratory...
Natalie Port
The artistic work THE FLY shows the depictions of flies (Diptera) on a scientific basis, created after extensive studies of specimens in the museum collections. The world of the flies, one of the largest groups within insects, is shown by Natalie Port in her work "The Fly". She takes viewers on a journey to the hidden treasures slumbering in museum collections, neatly sorted and stored in drawers which she now has brought back to life. Making people more aware of the importance of insects so that “the moving cosmos of insects does not turn into the colorless world of laboratories is the central concern of the artist Natalie Port.
