An illustration of the Community Center by the Lemonaut printed and hanged on the wall under a bookshelf. The sun framed it in beautiful golden light. Above it - books by Cory Doctorow, Ursula Le Guin, James S.A. Corey, Kim Stanley Robinson and more. On the illustration a woman looks at a monument of a wind turbine engineer helping a miner get out from underground, bathed in hopeful light.

I'm working on a new #solarpunk presentation for educators, artists and activists, putting the emphasis on the role of art in talking about a better #climate future.

We will have a lot of https://storyseedlibrary.org/ art!

#solarpunk #writing and #art idea:

A #watershed #map instead of a political or elevation one.

Imagining a world divided into bio-regions not by some arbitrary political body, but by the rivers and water circulation.

We could make it into a beautiful […]

I have to tell you I really like how the new #solarpunk #art and #writingprompt page is shaping up to be.

More info soon :)

#storyseedlibrary
Story Seed Library: A community center, library, or educational hub, initially set up to help people like coal miners re-specialize and find other jobs, has now became a place for unofficial “pilgrimages” of people striving to find their role in life and learn history from those who lived it.

Very preliminarily - I'm working on the #solarpunk #creativecommons #art database.

Before I code in JS-based sorting and filtering, what should be the order in which the images are displayed?

What would you find most useful?

We don't often see #art or #illustration of #solarpunk #infrastructure - and it's not an easy thing to convey.

Scandinavian101 decided to explore some #solarfarm #desert panoramas, building something close to #simonstalenhag 's juxtaposition of huge and […]

A panorama of a solar farm located in a desert, with huge white-and-red towers being warmed by solar rays from enormous arrays of mirrors. Just at the base of one of such towers an electric car is being charged.

They're not handmade, but I ordered some nice patches with a #solarpunk flag on them.

If you'd like to make one of your own, I used https://alxd.org/resources/solarpunk_patch.svg - it should be compatible witch most embroidery machines.
