Hello there!

Solarpunkverse is a Culture Hub.

Our objective is to be a world-building nodal point for the community to

• Learn and teach each other about Solarpunk

This would help us to collectively answer questions like- What is Solarpunk? Why is it a philosophy, a genre, an aesthetic but most crucially- a movement? What would a Solarpunkverse look like?

- Develop cultural points of access for the larger collective.

We felt there was a strong need to bridge the gap between an optimistic, near future outcome- and individuals/ projects today that are resisting ruptured systems through how they think, what they build and how they GROW. We would do this by:

• Identifying and celebrating Solarpunks of TODAY. Sharing their wins and trials.
• Rewarding such individuals and projects
• Sharing ways in which anyone can help to build the Solarpunkverse
• Creating and supporting localized communities who are taking Solarpunk from a fiction born seed to an on ground forest

Why We Need Your Support:

-We want to connect with and support on-ground heroes who are helping to build the Solarpunk paradigm

-We are building a community sourced Solarpunk Culture Library IE tracing the roots and presence of Solarpunk in literature, comics, films, art, architecture, games, music, fashion, myths, research, recipes, documentaries and so on.

-We want to generate Solarpunk culture- by supporting writers, artists, architects, film makers and all other creators who will help make Solarpunk accessible for the larger collective.

Our successful initiatives:

-An NFT collection of Solarpunk Characters, co created with Solarpunks of today. The Characters aim to represent them as they are and as they visualize themselves to be in a Solarpunk world.

What is next:

• Building our Culture Library
• Developing Core Characters that will feature in educational and world-building content, comics and games

Additional Information:

How do you plan to embed philanthropy in your organization?

-When people buy and design a character with us, their contributions fund active climate action projects and are redeemed for $Earth, giving them access to our community and minting rights for the currency.

-Having a Cultural Library will lead to:

• the creation of localized as well as web3 community structures with members working as spores- spreading ideas, awareness and ways to contribute to small and large scale change
• more people funding climate action projects
• and eventually, hopefully, to the incorporation of hope and pre-emptive action into all models of imagining and building the future.
