Earth scientist @ProfBillMcGuire joins @gailbradbrook, @JustCollapse, @ARadicalGuide, @VMatiru, @SolarpunkClub @InstSocEco for our upcoming eco crisis book! Give to fundraiser for goodies; £20+ gets @CommonNotions' Hope Against Hope: DM for your copy. LINK crowdbound.org/product/ecolog…

This group exhibition gathers prefigurative specimens, tracks movements in positive deviance, and maps the reenchantment of nature in the Bluegrass and beyond. On view from 8.2–23 at Bolivar Gallery, situated within the UK School of Art and Visual Studies in Lexington, Kentucky.

Deadline extended to May 7! We hope you consider applying, and sharing: ALL POWER ON EARTH COMES FROM THE SUN is a field sampling of contemporary ecosocial art exploring autonomy, care, and the potential for a more free and ecological world.

Next week, we're kicking off our course on solarpunk art and aesthetics and its relationship to social ecology, taught by @SolarpunkClub. It'll include deep discussion of art and social change as well as workshop time to develop your own artistic work, if that is your calling!

“This course has helped open pathways in my thought and action that I was unaware needed clearing,” and “If you are out here in this beautiful world wondering how to express your vision for the utopia you know we can build, this is the course for you!”

🏄‍♂️ Solarpunk Surf Club is facilitating a 10-week, pay-what-you-can online course: Solarpunk, Art, and Social Ecological Aesthetics starting March 5th at 7pm EST. A mix of history, philosophy, critique, and making, former students have said...

@mattyglesias au contraire! good politics AND aesthetic appeal unite in the solarpunk movement. want to learn more? take our @InstSocEco course social-ecology.org/wp/courses/sol…

Everyone knows that didactic, hyper-political art is usually bad. But the converse is also true — good politics is often pretty aesthetically unappealing. slowboring.com/p/socialists-o…

If you want to use the political system to solve problems and help people, you do need your authority and can't afford to be part of a self-righteous minority. But that makes for a terrible song! slowboring.com/p/socialists-o…

so stoked for the 2023 ISE summer intensive hosted by @instsoceco in partnership with the @theboggscenter in Detroit. Solarpunk Surf Club will be offering our Solarpunk Futures workshop and participating in a panel discussion on the role of art in movements of resistance.

"An artist’s game for collaborative utopian visioning ... whereby players use backcasting and modified consensus to collectively ‘remember’ the stories of how their ancestors built a social-ecological utopia." Solarpunk Futures, by @SolarpunkClub polygon.com/23778937/games…

19. On Thursday at 9:30am, Wayne Curtis, Meryem Dipdere, and @SolarpunkClub discuss the role of the arts in movements of resistance and for imagining a liberated future.

We're hosting a game night on Friday, 6/23 at 6:30 p.m.! Join us for Solarpunk Futures, a collaborative storytelling game by @SolarpunkClub that starts with a utopian future and explores how we got there. It's free! iffybooks.net/event/solarpun…

.@solarpunkclub's session engages participants in a process of visionary social storytelling around the collective struggle required to win our utopia—utilizing the artist's tabletop game 'Solarpunk Futures.' Want to join? Add it to your sched: hastac2023.sched.com/event/1LeMt #HASTAC2023

Friedrich Engels is to anarchism what Jordan Peterson is to Marxism. Anyone presenting his critique as legitimate should be embarrassed. And yet, ironically, they lack the knowledge to be aware of how embarrassing they're being.

A few of our session presenters will be Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, Modibo Kadalie, @KaliAkuno of @CooperationJXN, Abundia Tristán of @MariposasRebel1, Roberto Mendoza of @CoopTulsaOK, @williamcson, Chaia Heller, @SolarpunkClub, and many others.

just under 1 week left to submit to this solarpunk art contest hosted by @2eMinds. $500 prize + the jury looks stacked! 2eminds.com/solarpunk-art-…

@VReadtube There's a Danish company calle Orbesen Teknik that mine are from but there are lots of versions sold as "solar powered greenhouse vent openers"

@SolarpunkClub Where do you get these?

These levers for ventilation operate entirely off of heat! It leverages the expansion of wax when it melts to push open vents in a #greenhouse or coldframe with no electricity! When it cools down, the wax solidifies and it closes. #LowTech
