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.
Heliotropic Seekers
Beatriz Chachamovits
Heliotropic Seekers is a suspended installation of colorful plexiglass coral silhouettes that invites viewers to experience the fragility and beauty of coral reefs from a new perspective. The silhouettes, representing endemic fish and coral species from the South Florida Reef Tract, are positioned in layers, creating a playful and dynamic representation of underwater life. As sunlight filters through the pieces, their vibrant colors and shifting shadows bring the marine world to life, encouraging viewers to connect with the ocean and its inhabitants in a lighthearted way. This interactive experience highlights the intricate relationships within coral communities and emphasizes both their resilience and vulnerability. By elevating these marine species into public view, Heliotropic Seekers fosters a deeper appreciation for the ocean's wonders and the urgent need for its protection. It sparks reflection on our connection to the sea and inspires collective care and responsibility for the world beneath the waves.
