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.
SYMBIOTIC FUTURES
Romy Snijders
SYMBIOTIC FUTURES is a project that presents a vision of the future exploring the language of trees through fungi and live in symbiosis with the forest. The vision is expressed through fictional tools that might one day allow us to listen to the communication between trees. Understanding this communication may help us improve our relationship with the environment. The work exists of multiple images, a video and speculative tools. The work is created through a multidisciplinary approach including input from ecologists, mycologists and forest managers.
