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.

Keren Anavy
The installation symbolized Anavy's journey and the spaces it inhabits. The work was created in response to a profound loss, exploring themes of creation, fragility, and transformation. It merges marine elements, paintings, and concrete blocks, referencing urban infrastructure and water systems. Materials- natural and industrial, were collected from Long Island, forming a visual travel diary and carrying personal memories. The floor structure evokes both construction zones and ancient ruins. Abstract paintings suggest water, stones, and recurring diamond motifs. A sound piece plays from a suspended, used canoe, recorded by Anavy’s daughter in Montauk. The canoe, once sailed on the Hudson and marked with a U.S. flag, now floats above the bricks as a symbolic vessel—part family history, part immigrant object, creating a deeply personal inner landscape.
