ALL POWER ON EARTH COMES FROM THE SUN is a field sampling of contemporary ecosocial art exploring autonomy, care, and the potential for a more free and ecological world.
This group exhibition gathers prefigurative specimens, tracks movements in positive deviance, and maps the reenchantment of nature in the Bluegrass and beyond. On view from 8.2–23 at Bolivar Gallery, situated within the UK School of Art and Visual Studies in Lexington, Kentucky.
Next week, we're kicking off our course on solarpunk art and aesthetics and its relationship to social ecology, taught by @SolarpunkClub. It'll include deep discussion of art and social change as well as workshop time to develop your own artistic work, if that is your calling!

🏄♂️ Solarpunk Surf Club is facilitating a 10-week, pay-what-you-can online course: Solarpunk, Art, and Social Ecological Aesthetics starting March 5th at 7pm EST. A mix of history, philosophy, critique, and making, former students have said...
“This course has helped open pathways in my thought and action that I was unaware needed clearing,” and “If you are out here in this beautiful world wondering how to express your vision for the utopia you know we can build, this is the course for you!”
As 2023 comes to a close, we'd like to showcase a few of our highlights. It was an incredible year for new programs in radical education. If you can, please help support this work continuing on through 2024 – our 50th anniversary year.

"An artist’s game for collaborative utopian visioning ... whereby players use backcasting and modified consensus to collectively ‘remember’ the stories of how their ancestors built a social-ecological utopia."

Friedrich Engels is to anarchism what Jordan Peterson is to Marxism.
Anyone presenting his critique as legitimate should be embarrassed.
And yet, ironically, they lack the knowledge to be aware of how embarrassing they're being.

I use the game Solarpunk Futures by @SolarpunkClub as a helpful guide, following something they said: “IRL/RFN” In Real Life/Right Fucking Now. Took some ideas from a book I got today, then designed some stickers and put them up during my afternoon walk.
