A lot of #solarpunk visions might seem sterile because they show a #utopia already realized, but with no trace of the struggle, no cultural shifts arising from the period of change. If I was to imagine a stabilized, sustainable Solarpunk world it would seem very alien and unintuitive to us. It's because it's not a technological change that's needed - but a cultural one. Things we already can do but can't perceive or describe them as viable. #writing #culture #climate #climateChange #futurism

I don't agree with their use of the word #solarpunk , but this is a really interesting #solar analysis in #Africa:
Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa
Or: How Africa is building the future by skipping the past
 "This is the template for building infrastructure in the 21st century. Not government-led. Not centralized. Not requiring 30-year megaprojects. Instead: modular, distributed, digitally-metered, remotely-monitored, PAYG-financed, carbon-subsidized infrastructure deployed by private companies in competitive markets." Now think: co-ops. #climate
If you are an artist who would like to do a commission for the #storySeedLibrary , please, please, do not use AI to generate an idea for yourself to draw. The whole project is about our intentionality and agency in imagining a way out of the Climate Crisis. Please do not outsource it to machines. I would be more okay with an AI-generated image based on a powerful human concept than a masterful drawing of an inhumane idea. This is not #solarpunk and this is not #art .
