#Solarpunk: Visions of a #Just, #NaturePositive world
What does a sustainable civilisation look like and how do we get there? A burgeoning movement of #artists and #activists is seeking answers.by Joe Coroneo-Seaman, January 21, 2022
Excerpt: "The concept of solarpunk originally emerged in the late 2000s, when a handful of artists on the social media platform Tumblr began sharing drawings of futuristic green cities. Over time, the aesthetic and ethos evolved into a more robust vision for the world, and in the process has been embraced by other art forms. There are now published collections of solarpunk literature, subgenres of music, movements within architecture and even tabletop role-playing games [#RPGs].
"At the core of this vision is the idea that humans can coexist in harmony with the rest of nature. A solarpunk world is one where vast swathes of land have been returned to #wilderness, rooftop gardens dot the skylines of high-tech cities and vertical farms provide food to their residents.
"Responsible use of #technology is also a prominent theme. #Solar, #wind and #wave power have entirely replaced #FossilFuels as sources of energy, while widespread #3DPrinting has made it much easier to produce things #locally, creating #resilient, #SelfSufficient #communities.
"Increasingly, artists and writers in the solarpunk movement also describe a world that is just and safe for #MarginalisedGroups – especially those facing the brunt of the #climate and #ecological crisis today. '#BIPOC [#Black, #Indigenous and #PeopleOfColour] and #QueerPeople are safe in solarpunk futures,' says Brianna Castagnozzi, co-editor-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine.
"Although it may seem utopian and idealistic, solarpunk attempts to answer real questions being asked more and more often in light of the unfolding climate and ecological crisis. What can be saved? What does a truly #sustainable civilisation look like? How do we get there?
"It may be a big ask, but it’s now clear that the scale of the environmental crises facing humanity demands #TransformationalChanges to the way we live, as well as the way we think. Art has the power to shape our attitudes, so perhaps it’s time – as Nigerian poet #BenOkri said recently – for artists of all kinds to 'dedicate our lives to nothing short of re-dreaming society'."

I thoroughly enjoyed the talk by Ben Okri about his new book at @edbookfest on Friday night. It got a bit postponed because of travel problems, but it gave my friend and I time to start the 🍷before the talk... and still continue it after. He was also very friendly at the signing and his daughter a pearl. I'm also really enjoying his new book and The Famished Road... #howmanynovelsareyoureadingatonce!

Gib acht, welche Geschichten du liest oder erzählst: unbemerkt, in der Nacht, unter den Wassern deines Bewusstseins, verändern sie deine Welt. –Sir Ben Okri

Mir schon klar, dass derartige ›Betroffenheitslyrik‹ dazu dient, uns Zeitgenossen zu beruhigen. Dennoch find ich diese Zeilen von #BenOkri zum #Gazakonflikt gelungen.
Vor allem das …
»Who will find a
Way instead of
Taking a side?«
… spiegelt meine Haltung punktgenau.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/24/gaza-poem-ben-okri

Via »Monster of the Markets. Zombies, Vampires & Global Capitalism« (2011) von #DavidMcNally wurde ich auf #BenOkri aufmerksam. Bei uns erschien nicht so viel von dem, aber immerhin der erste Band seiner »Famished Road«-Trio.
Anfang von »Die hunrige Straße« (1991 / Dt. v. Uli Wittmann, 1994) haut mich schon mal um. That’s the kind of Fantasy I’m talking about bay-bee!

“His writing takes on the great riddles of existence—freedom and consciousness, truth and illusion, suffering and transcendence—spinning them into shimmering, allegorical texts.” Anderson Tepper on the work of Nigerian British writer Ben Okri. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/books/ben-okri.html #NewYorkTimes #BenOkri
