Transition Systems by Alexandra Garove

“We are living now inside the imagination of people who thought economic disparity and environmental destruction were acceptable costs for their power. It is our right and responsibility to write ourselves into the future.”
~adrienne maree brown

 

We can’t be what we can’t see. As fascism destroys our social systems, the ability to imagine a way out is vital– we cannot simply return to the neoliberal structures that failed us and allowed the climate crisis in the first place. Imagining better is difficult, radical work– perhaps more difficult and more radical than critique. What does a liberated world look like? How will we live?

Rachel Rusk explains her bio-art process to fellow Solarpunk artists Samantha Sethi & Pamela Casper

Solarpunk is an artistic movement that seeks to answer these questions. In our open call, we challenged artists to send us their fantastical visions of climate solutions. ​​​Artists from Baltimore to Mauritius answered our call, and from over 70 submissions we proudly present our vision of Solarpunk, featuring 27 works from 19 artists spanning painting, photography, sculpture, film and animation. Some concern themselves with the possible and practical, some engage with Solarpunk through the metaphysical. From the collected works, a world of regenerative biomaterials, art nouveau, solar energy, mushrooms and local sovereignty emerges– offering tantalizing visions of how we could live if we turned away from the precipice of apocalypse.
