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.
Wild Weed Kitchen (project)
Monika Dutta and Jake Harries
May was the perfect month for Wild Weed Kitchen to open doors in Sheffield. We set up in a vacant shop with a large glass front onto the street, creating a temporary kitchen where we performed the process of preparing and cooking food using wild ingredients found locally and from 'a little piece of land'. At the end of the cooking, the space was transformed again to provide cafeteria tables and seating for us to serve food, for free, to any willing participants from the audience or passers by. On the menu: Dandelion burgers; fried dandelion root; sauted hogweed stems and shoots; comfrey buds.
