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.

By composting my paper notes ( including ideas, plans, memories ) with the help of earthworms, I formed a brain from which wildflower seeds release shoots. By thus recycling the information and giving them a chance for new life This work represents the need for fast systematic change in the time of global ecological crisis. For this we need to be able to reuse all of the information we have, in a way to find new connections within our minds and reconnect with nature. Just as the plants do it with their roots. In this process thinking about bio-and neurodiversity both play an important role I made two versions of this work and one of them is exhibited in the nature on a tree stump where my recycled papers found the way back to the loop The video which shows the main thoughts and life stages behind the work and process is available through the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-a-oS6E6o
