SOLARPUNK
SerenadesWorkshop led by Meg Winikates
For the Massachusetts Poetry Festival 2017
WHAT IS “SOLARPUNK?”
According to Wikipedia:
• “humanity is reintegrated with nature
and technology is used for human-
centric and eco-centric purposes”
• “a collaborative social effort to
imagine and design a world of post-
scarcity abundance, peace,
sustainability, social inclusiveness, and
beauty- one which is seen as
realistically achievable with current
technology.”
WHY “SOLAR?”
• Ecologically sustainable
• Bio-mimicry
• Renewable energy
• Near-future science
WHY “PUNK?”
• Individualism, inventiveness
over commercialism
• Unexpected materials
• Technology serving artistic
expression
IS THIS A NEW IDEA?
• Gaudi
• Gene Roddenberry
• Tomorrowland (and the
World’s Fairs that
inspired it)
• & the classics…
WHERE CAN I READ SOME
SOLARPUNK?

their blog has useful resources

POSSIBLE DRAWBACKS &
DIFFICULTIES

Solarpunk Serenades: Writing Sci-Fi Poetry

  • 1. SOLARPUNK SerenadesWorkshop led by Meg Winikates For the Massachusetts Poetry Festival 2017
  • 2. WHAT IS “SOLARPUNK?” According to Wikipedia: • “humanity is reintegrated with nature and technology is used for human- centric and eco-centric purposes” • “a collaborative social effort to imagine and design a world of post- scarcity abundance, peace, sustainability, social inclusiveness, and beauty- one which is seen as realistically achievable with current technology.”
  • 3. WHY “SOLAR?” • Ecologically sustainable • Bio-mimicry • Renewable energy • Near-future science
  • 4. WHY “PUNK?” • Individualism, inventiveness over commercialism • Unexpected materials • Technology serving artistic expression
