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.
Beyond A Given Moment-Community land art piece
Nikolina Butorac
Project I’m proposing is divided in two stages. First stage is shown to the public in form of posters works, pasted in places like tram and bus stations for city-light posters. Information about the workshops would be added to the posters. Along with the posters, I’m sending a sketch of land art installation made of plants that attract pollinating insects. Bumblebees and bees are disappearing because of habitat lost, neonicotinoid pesticides and temperatures they haven’t previously had to tolerate. Through this project I want to incorporate more native flowers fed on by the insects into rural and urban areas. This installation, along with two new ones, would be planted as collaborative workshops between biology students and art academy students, encouraging the people from public to participate. I formed sentence: Beyond a given moment. With this thought I’m pointing on a moment now, we have to recreate and change, so that all living things can have a better future on this Planet. Every year we’re seeing the impacts of climate change grow, but increasingly alarming topic is the extinction of pollinating insects, such as bees and bumblebees.
