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.
Fractal Identity 2025 oil on canvas and coton tricot
m.papavassiliou@icloud.com
Fractal Identity oil on canvas cotton tricot 50x60cm 2025 is a self-portrait of the artist looking at the viewer of the work. The subject weeps thinking about how contemporary humanity is ruining our planet. Next to her a golden parallelepiped opens showing another smaller cube inside. This is a representation of a fractal imaginative dynamic of social interaction toward good practices and harmony between humans and other species too, thinking expecially ocean restoration and biodiversity protection. The tears are made by the artist with a tricot textile using natural blue and light periwinkle coton yarns, Blue green beads and silver rhinestones
