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.

Title:
Solandium 2063

Author:
Nejc Trampuz

Description:
Solandium 2063 is an experimental 3D solarpunk strategy computer game that integrates artificial intelligence to explore pathways toward sustainable world-building. Set in the dystopian future of 2063, in the ruins of a failed techno-capitalist experiment, players are tasked to collaborate with an AI to rebuild an abandoned robotic facility into a thriving, off-grid eco-community. Blurring the boundaries between game, interactive art, and educational speculative fiction, Solandium 2063 challenges players to navigate the tensions between technological progress and ecological responsibility. The game embodies the aesthetics and values of solarpunk, optimistically striving for a just and ecological society and the responsible use of technology. While set in a future shaped by climate collapse, Solandium 2063 is not a dystopia—it is an invitation to imagine and co-shape alternative futures where technology serves life, not profits.
