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.
Dialogue with oceans of Earth
Natalia Garber
My idea is that looking into the ocean we become oceanic ourselves, so my three images are the illustration to my poem of dialogue with ocean and the water of Earth in common about harmonic development of the Planet by feeling of interconnection and unity. Here is the interlinear translation of my poem: - I am a circle of harmony. A ring. In a global circle I drive my waves. - And I look into your face, Diving into the depths. The ocean has a soul like you And everything around. Look at the world, breathing easily, And everyone will be a friend. - Then where does the poverty of anger come from And the pain of disharmonies? - Ah, all this vanity of vanities, While you and I are free to play. Look at me. Look, But don't touch anything. And you will feel how I Live inside you, calming your fire. You are also an ocean, A shore and sand on it. For us, skirting the shores, It is easy to talk with each other. When you’re in harmony, Then you see – I look at you as a friend. Life is simple without fear. We’re both made of star dust Breathing with music of Universe So look into my face And we’ll shine together. 'm the heartleaft voice of the noosphere, sustainably leading the biosphere to its healing integrity. Digital Renaissance of my transformational science art expresses the ancient spirit of our Planet via the creative cooperation of natural laws & ethical artificial intelligence.
