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.

This is a self-portrait, done with graphite and watercolours, as these are two of the most eco-friendly and sustainable materials available. Being half-Filipina half French, this work partly alludes to the need for us to protect our oceans and forests, through the mineral aspect of the green, and the red referring to wild fires. The bleeding lines also refer to corals, which are endangered. The face seems to look at us from below water-level, symbolising how we can drown if we don't take action.
