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.

My works are made with sustainability in mind. In the context of my home country, the biggest polluter is the textile waste poisoning the oceans and rivers of Ghana. I saw more and more unwanted clothes dirtying our beaches. This work is not only my way of helping to solve this waste pollution problem but also imagines a scenario in which we can freely enjoy our ocean once more without the pollutants endangering our oceans.
