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.
Restoring Life: A Diver’s Mission
Handriyanti Diah Puspitarini
In this breathtaking underwater scene, a diver rides atop a majestic blue whale, symbolizing human’s power to guide nature toward restoration. Armed with a paintbrush, she colors bleached corals The stark contrast between vibrant painted corals and the pale ones highlights the devastating effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. This image serves as a reminder that while human activity has contributed to environmental destruction, it also holds the potential to heal and protect our planet for future generations.
