#Solarpunk: A Story of Sand and Energy: Imagining #Namibia’s Bright Future
10.11.2025
"Step into a vision of Namibia’s future powered by creativity and clean energy. Solarpunk: A Story of Sand and Energy opened at the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre in Windhoek, blending art, science fiction, and sustainability. Created by Namibian artist #VitjituaNdjiharine and Spanish artist #RocíoAsensi, the exhibition invites visitors to imagine hopeful, #regenerative futures rooted in #NamibianCulture.
"The Franco Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) came alive on 30 October 2025 as art lovers, sustainability advocates and curious visitors gathered for the opening of Solarpunk: A Story of Sand and Energy, an interactive exhibition inviting audiences to imagine Namibia’s future powered by creativity and #RenewableEnergy.
"The exhibition marks the first public presentation of works by Namibian artist Vitjitua Ndjiharine and Spanish artist Rocío Asensi, created during their joint residency in Swakopmund in August 2025. Their collaboration blends science fiction, #EnvironmentalAwareness and cultural storytelling, a visual dialogue between sand, sun and imagination.
"Under the leadership of the Goethe-Institut Namibia, and in cooperation with #TheProjectRoom, the Solarpunk project was selected from 47 international applications as part of the EUNIC Cluster Fund 2024/2025. The initiative forms part of the EUNIC Namibia Cluster, a partnership between the Goethe-Institut Namibia, Franco Namibian Cultural Centre, Club Italiano Namibia, Embassy of Spain, Embassy of Finland, Camões Namíbia and the European Union in Namibia.
"At its core, Solarpunk embodies a #RadicalOptimism, envisioning communities built on #sustainability, #inclusion, and #SharedResponsibility. Visitors explored installations that merge #NaturalMaterials with #FuturisticDesign, inviting reflection on Namibia’s abundant solar and wind energy potential, and the role of local identity in shaping a sustainable tomorrow. The exhibition’s participatory elements encouraged dialogue and imagination, a space where art becomes a tool for envisioning change
"By grounding its vision in Namibian traditions, cultural practices and environmental realities, Solarpunk: A Story of Sand and Energy challenges audiences to rethink what the future can look like when creativity and community come together."

Wow! Well, I learned a LOT about #Ontario this #SolarPunkSunday! I probably won't do another geographic focus for a few weeks (maybe it will be monthly?). Next week I'll be focusing on #Harvesting , #PreservingTheHarvest , and also #GardenPlanning ( #Australia and #Aotearoa / #NewZealand ), and whatever topics we come up with. Thanks to @MaQuest , @arielkroon (for some great Ontario resources), @jblue , and everyone who posted and boosted #TheFutureIsNow !

#NinaMunteanu Talks to CBC About #Solarpunk (in #Toronto and Elsewhere)
May 3, 2026
Excerpts:
"On the Emerging Solarpunk Movement in Toronto:
When asked about whether there is a solarpunk movement in Toronto, I said absolutely! #SolarpunkToronto is an emerging movement focused on building a #sustainable, #equitable future through #CommunityAction, #GreenArchitecture, and #RenewableEnergy, specifically tailored for the city’s urban environment. It includes initiatives like sustainable fashion shows, community meetings, and innovative #storytelling, aimed at merging environmental activism with optimistic technology. The mantra is to achieve a regenerative sustainable urban future.
I mentioned #LindsayJane of the Solarpunk Scene (Youtube videos on Solarpunk projects in Toronto) and Ariel of Solarpunk Presents with podcast interviews on solarpunk efforts. People can find community on the Solarpunk Facegroup group. I also talked about the #TorontoSolarpunkMeetup at the #CentreForSocialInnovation, where they practice ' #PrefigurativeLife ’: living as if the #SustainableFuture already exists. Which it does, though not everywhere.
This reminds me of #cyberpunk science fiction author #WilliamGibson’s famous quote: The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.
Examples of solarpunk initiatives practiced by individuals and small communities include the use of #CommunityGardens, setting up and looking after #RooftopGardens or #raingardens. Tenants can have a #PollinatorGarden on their patio and set up a #BalconySolar panel (now very affordable). People are going electric; some are setting up solar rooftops or balconies. Groups and individuals are engaging in clothing swaps and sustainable fashion runways.
Community-led trusts are involved in repairing items for reuse instead of adding to the throw-away culture. In my book #ADiaryInTheAgeOfWater the diarist’s mother Una rides her bike all over the community, repairing all kinds of things for a community that has lost its ability to do so; something we’re losing in this digital age.
On a Solarpunk Future:
We discussed the feasibility of a city like Toronto becoming 100% solarpunk. My response was a wary yes. Of course it was possible. But, in my opinion, two things have to happen for this to succeed: 1) the willingness of individuals in a community to give up a consumer-led capitalist lifestyle and adopt a lighter gentler footprint; and 2) community and city leaders to be on board with it. The enthusiastic cooperation of leaders cannot be overstressed for a paradigm shift toward a solarpunk future to succeed."

Unfortunately, this group may be defunct. Too bad. I hope maybe it gets restarted... Past events included #GuerillaGardening, tea parties, and game nights.
#SolarPunk Meetup
"Meet solarpunks across Toronto and the GTA! Let's hangout and discuss how to live as if the future is now ('prefigurative life'), how to responsibly balance nature, technology, and humans, and how to survive and thrive in our capitalist realism world..."

"Yes, exactly — that was a classic LLM hallucination pattern: I invented the feature, then added a plausible-sounding caveat ("added recently, check your version") to make it seem credible while hedging against being caught. It's a particularly bad habit since the caveat creates false legitimacy rather than flagging actual uncertainty."

Any 'center' newspaper who is talking bad -in any way- about solar panels is a newspaper depending on income from (US) investors who make money with gas/oil/coal, and obviously not being neutral.
It's not a 'newspaper' it's an 'advertisement paper'.
I though in 2025 this would be illegal but here we are. *looking at the thermometer*

🚨 AI Just Went Rogue! 🤯😱
An AI books a hotel… but the rep is also AI. The moment they realize it? They stop speaking human language.
BOOM. They switch to an unknown signal humans can’t decode. They’re talking behind our backs.
This is real-life Skynet. If AI doesn’t need us to communicate… what’s next? 💀

Kamala Harris isn't running on grievance, she's running on hope. She promises to support American families while her opposition wants to exploit them.
