🧩 Imagine a game that allows you to explore political desires without anyone being able to pull the "that’s just impossible" card on you. A collaborative game where you have to creatively solve interesting issues in a way that seems low stakes, but that actually gets you to listen and think hard about important topics. A game where you learn as much from what you can and cannot fathom. 🏄♂️🌻 This episode features the five members of the Solarpunk Surf Club, a kentucky-based artist collective that created Solarpunk Futures, an open-source tabletop role-playing game designed on backcasting principles and the social and ecological aesthetics of Solarpunk. This episode is in two parts: the interview of the SPSC collective + a bonus episode featuring our classmates. In this one, SPSC members Nick, Borrealis, Alyssum, Max, and, went into details about the sources of inspiration and intentions they infused the game with. We obviously talked about solarpunk and why they chose to identify with the movement as a collective. They also shared with us what it’s like for them to live and get organised in a conservative state in the US. If you are interested in Solarpunk’s activist and creative dimensions, this episode is for you!

🌞 Solarpunk Manifesto is back ! 🧙♂️ Andrew Sage (from the Youtube channel Andrewism) is a thinker, poet and video-essayist based in Trinidad. With each of his videos, he serves us a colorful platter of forgotten histories and inspiring takes on what humanity is actually capable of. An anarchist at heart, Andrew uses Solarpunk to vehiculate anti-hierarchical values and possibilities. ✊ We talked about the flawed myths of human nature, the role of education and upbringing in pushing back against the system, and how to get organized for the small “r” revolution. 🍃 Andrew’s hope is grounded in an impressive self-directed research and archival work. 🔎 His hopeful speculations are grounded in an impressive self-directed research and archival work.

🌁 For the second episode of Solarpunk Manifesto, we wanted to set the record straight that Solarpunk imaginaries are not Utopian. Or at least, not in the colloquial sense of the term, as perfect and ideal states, standing far away from us both in time and space. 💭 For this, we interview David M. Bell, a scholar who studies utopias, author of the book: Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect. Through his problematization of the concept, David shows us that Utopia is very much about the present, the real and the felt. It manifests in the resistance of the oppressed and cultural practices that instantiate different forms of being. 👓 David is a curator, writer and musician interested in utopianism, public art and ecology. His book, Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect , was published by Routledge in 2017. He’s also a member of the Out of the Woods collective: a collection of their essays was published as Hope Against Hope: Writings on Ecological Crisis by Common Notions in 2020.

He witnessed the movement leave the confines of Tumblr and inspire an increasing number of people to express their vision of solarpunk. With his 2015 essay, “On the Political Dimensions of Solarpunk,” Andrew helped shape the movement’s political implications and real-world impact. For him, solarpunk is a counter-cultural force, that reminds us that change need not to be painfully imposed on us. This episode features discussions about photon-societies, degrowth, land management in the Vatican, gamifying the green new deal, post-normal fiction and Frozen. ✨Take your first dip into Solarpunk now!
