Solar Punk - A Visionary Politics and Aesthetic

Solar punk is a visionary, utopian politics and aesthetic that critically engages the reality of capitalist catastrophe while maintaining a radical optimism about humanity's hopes for a communal, logical future. I think it provided aa useful way of synthesizing several currents that we had already been thinking about and involved in between new media and social practice. We see it as a restorative justice process on a planetary scale among people, between humans and non human nature. So that means reclaiming pieces of the past, prep pre capitalist culture. That means material accountability for old practices, and it also means radical adaptability towards new ones.
