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.
Countermapping against drought
kaki
Within the workshop "Countermapping against drought" kids are motivated to learn about the dangers of droughts. In a playful way they are motivated to have a look at maps of waters and tell us what they see. Mostly they say blue, so when we walk to the points on the maps, there is no water anymore. Kids can therefore find ways to underline the missing of the colour blue. Here they put a rope in dried out areas. This image is part of a bigger series of fotos from the workshop
