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.
Alternate Possibilities

The art works seeks to question the current ways of buildings in relation to the effects they have on the users. The art work seeks to promote green and sustainable buildings by trying to visualise the negative effects that non-green buildings have on human beings. Having a degree in Architectural Studies and still pursuing post graduate Architectural Studies, I decided to create art using the same process used to produce visual renders of buildings. The work seeks to question the effects of city(modern) structures on the emotional, physical and spiritual well being of city dwellers. The experiences of the built environment that is constantly being 'mordernised' has vast effects that include climate. Interrogating whether this is the “right” move. Are there possible alternatives that can provide remedy.
