GLOBAL PATTERN SOLARPUNK SPECIAL

Solarpunk is a dream, is a speculation, a science fiction - yet, it's a possible future. It's not retrofuturism, but instead a vision of how can we get there, to a better world. It is in our power to change the way we live, to think different, to abolish any kind of domination between ourselves and above nature. We have all the means to build a new kind of society: compassionate, ecological, inclusive for all cultures and identities, decentralized and free of political manipulation. Hi-tech may and should co-exist with the biosphere and we have the most powerful source of energy for that - our Sun. Let it shine our way as we look into the future!

Solarpunk is just a name for the eternal hope of the humanity – to live in harmony with each other, to know no fear, no war or domination of any kind over each other or any species on this planet. To find freedom of expression without limiting the freedom of others or exploiting the biosphere – which still remains a vessel for all of us. The closer examination of modern sociology, alternative politics, ecology, high tech and biology shows that a huge deal of tools needed for that has already been discovered. Yet, we live in the dystopian now of consumerism, corporate dictatorship, pharmaceutical control, global surveillance and declining ecology... That's why we need sun-drenched dreams like solarpunk, because dreaming is revolutionary in times like these, when even the art world and virtual reality, the last resorts of free thought are becoming more and more controlled by the advertisement algorithm. The most powerful source of energy and life radiates over our heads every single day, so let's learn something from it.
