What is Solarpunk?
Solarpunk is an artistic movement that envisions the survival of humanity and nature in harmony. Solarpunk envisions methods of adaptation to the climate crisis alongside restoration of nature and our solidarity with it.
The following help define our conception of solarpunk:
heory & Philosophy:
Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Cthulucene, Donna J Haraway
Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmer
Emergent Strategies, adrienne maree brown
From Steampunk to Solarpunk, John Roberts (the original blog post that coined this term.)
What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson

Film:
Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind, Dir Hayao Miyazaki (image above)
Messages from the Future (I & II) Dir Molly Crabapple

What ISN'T Solarpunk?
While this is subjective, we would not consider the following themes to align with our interpretation of solarpunk or our curatorial goals:
Fantasizing about the destruction of humanity
Post-apocalypse wherein the focus is destruction of civilization, humanity being “punished,” etc, even if to uplift nature or non-humans.
Space colonizing, space travel, or terraforming new planets.
Emphasis on technology alone as a climate solution.

IMAGE: Still from Annihilation (2018) Dir Alex Garland. Humanity and human interference is quickly reclaimed by nature in this science fiction film. While this is a great film, it is NOT solarpunk in theme or ethos.

We are looking for:
Artwork of all mediums (2D, 3D, traditional, new media) that embodies the theme, particularly narrative art, illustration, and sequential art.
Bio-Art should be pest-resistant
no gen-AI or AI-Assisted artwork will be accepted.
2D and Video Artwork from international submitters. (read call for specifics)
Programming proposals for workshops, lectures, and beyond.
Events that embody a DIY and Mutual Aid spirit highly desired!
