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.
Moss Oracle
DANAI NIKOLAIDI KOTSAKI
2024 Materials: moss, fresh water, micro-organisms, light, recycled glass, magnifying lense, plexiglass, metallic components dimensions 18x13x13 cm Scaffolds are developed to be inhabited by microscopic -visible and invisible life forms, creating an environment of symbiosis. This project explores networking through mutually beneficial relationships, embracing practices of collectivity and collaboration. By fostering environments that sustain diverse life forms-including algae, moss and plants- the system functions as a collective, a symbiotic ecosystem where all organisms, plants and ceramic sculptures cooperate to sustain one another.
