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.
On water and future dream
Beatriz Chachamovits
On water and future dreams is a collaborative, interactive sculpture by Beatriz Chachamovits and Randi Renate that highlights the collective action needed to restore marine ecosystems. The steel dome structure began nearly bare, inviting visitors to select and attach ceramic corals to its frame. As the sculpture grew, it mirrored the restoration process of coral reefs, symbolizing the resilience of ocean ecosystems through human effort. By engaging the public in a hands-on experience, the piece fostered a deeper connection to the ocean’s fragility and strength. Through its evolving form, the artwork emphasized the importance of collaboration in ecological recovery. The act of rebuilding the reef becomes both a physical and symbolic gesture of care, demonstrating the power of collective responsibility. On Water and Future Dreams reflects the interconnectedness of all life, encouraging viewers to become active participants in the protection of our oceans.
