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.
A Canvas for the Blue Rebirth
Julio Hernandez
This piece draws inspiration from the ancient Sacsayhuamán ruins, represented by the vibrant rectangular patterns in the background. These Inka structures symbolize the harmonious coexistence between humans, animals, and the environment. The alpacas in the foreground pay homage to Peru’s biodiversity and its deep-rooted ancestral connection to nature. Together, the elements evoke a vision of biodiversity protection and restoration, extending this harmony to ocean conservation. With Peru’s Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, the artwork calls for collective action to heal and protect marine ecosystems to include not only oceans but also all-natural aquifer reserves as part of our shared planetary heritage.
