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.
The ocean of origami
Guowei Li
I have various antique porcelain on my bookshelf, including those from the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. It sounds like I should be very wealthy, don't misunderstand - I'm not an antique collector. I am a paper folding enthusiast.Artists, scientists, and educators who devote themselves to creating or researching origami have different motivations, experiences, and values from different eras and individuals, but everyone has the same passion for origami. Different ideas do not generate debate, but rather surprise people with the diversity of origami art. My entries are: Water droplets, Rainbow, Blue and white porcelain drifting across the sea。
