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 work is dedicated to environmental conservation and a sustainable future. The text comes from Tao Te Ching (the classic book of Taoism, 400BC), which roughly translates to “The sky and the earth are long-lasting. The reason why they are able to endure for this long, is that they do not live for themselves." Putting this into an environmental context: we humans should think long-term and preserve the resources on earth, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations and the entire ecosystem. This is part of my broader series "Hundred Schools of Thought," in which I fuse ancient Chinese calligraphy with contemporary art techniques such as collaging and illustrations. This synthesis fosters a dynamic cross-temporal and cross-cultural dialogue, delving into themes of environment, sustainability, philosophy, and various other subjects.
