Kom zondag 5 november naar Solarpunk de Buurt workshop in de Kas Keerweer

We duiken samen in de eco-sociale utopia van SOLARPUNK met voorbeelden en verhalen. We bespreken de principes van een solarpunk toekomst en fantaseren over hoe onze buurt eruit zou zien. Iedereen maakt een eigen stukje van deze toekomst door deze te schrijven/tekenen/schilderen/knipselen.

Met dank aan Buurtbudget deelname is gratis & aanmelden via priscillaharing@hotmail.com

Sometimes it might seem like all is bleak, especially in hardware design and manufacturing. Many of the fantastic solutions we engineer are made with unethical materials and used to uphold a system that is lacking in meaning and threatening our very lives.
