Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many powerful contributions from artists across the globe. The selected works reflect the diversity of contemporary social art practices and address urgent issues such as climate and water crises, social and economic inequality, migration, conflict, discrimination, and the protection of human and more-than-human life.
Below you will find the submissions from the edition of 2024/2025 that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and supports dialogue around their themes; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your inspiring and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping the Social Art Award 2025.
Hacen Prayer
Heather Smith
Hacen Prayer is a photo series documenting a Mauritanian immigrant living in Chicago at morning prayer in nature, embodying resilience and faith. Reflecting the interconnectedness of human and planetary harmony, the series fosters empathy and challenges divisive narratives. Through visual storytelling, it highlights the power of art to inspire human-nature coexistence, promote healing and contribute to a more sustainable, compassionate world.
