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.

Water is being fought over, water is being commercialised, water is being rationed, water is being polluted, contaminated, toxic substances are being dumped in the world's oceans. Plastics in the form of microplastics transport bacteria around the globe in just a few days. Water is not soft and flowing, water is becoming dangerous, hard and sharp. Injured, poisoned, corrosive, heated, recycled without energy. 100/100/8 cm framed Architectural paper (transparent green) Multibel, folded, mounted
