Imagine a future characterized not by catastrophe, but by hope, solidarity and ingenuity. A world in which technology is good for people and the climate, in which community counts and diversity is celebrated. A society that thinks for everyone: more us than me for everyone. This is solarpunk: colorful, loud, green, queer, afrofuturistic - and never well-behaved.
Since the term first appeared in 2008, solarpunk has been more than just an idea: it is an invitation to rethink the future. With crazy ideas, critical questioning and utopian visions, a picture emerges of how we could live - if we act courageously, creatively and in solidarity.
The exhibition shows Solarpunk in all its facets: from books and performances to sculptures, comics and video installations to specially composed sounds and results from workshops with children and young people. Here, people dream, argue, try out and design.
