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.
Etern Return
Joao Genaro
Work that reverence the fabulous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Composed by fans of bamboo and fabric, Eternal Return reaffirms the continuity of life, the waves of energy that are perpetuated by the universe, as well as the concept of continuity expressed by Buddhism. Nothing ceases to have a cause, cause and effect previous, nothing happens that we do not deserve. In times of severe climate change great waves tsunamis, heat waves and cold, waves of violence, intolerance, eternally oppose the waves of love and peace.
