In this present in which the future is almost cancelled, #solarpunk imagines a way to be together based on other options than denial or despair. In this speculative imaginary, manifested as sci-fi literary and artistic forms, and rapidly expanding in multiple forms of popular culture, the solar, understood as renewable energy, meets punk as form of self-organisation, thus representing a trend in discontinuity with genres like cyberpunk, dieselpunk or steampunk.

Zero Point Summer School – Turning points, spaces and utopias

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION / ro /

6-11th of August 2023,
Vármező/Câmpu Cetăţii, Mureş county, Romania

How do we imagine the collapse of our familiar world, the zero-point of social and personal life? What do we think about the built environment and power systems that seem unbreakable? What learned and inherited stereotypes is our social and creative imagination captive to? The idea for the Zero Point Summer School was born out of a critique of two radical endpoints - apathy and blind trust - with the stated ambition that participants in the program would formulate new responses, or even utopias, by examining the built environment and urban planning practices in the context of social crisis situations.

"The desirable goal of politics can be defined in philosophical terms by reflecting on what is Evil, the root cause of human suffering." (New Eastern European Left)

There are many opinions about the thinking of Gáspár Miklós Tamás. Is there a political truth to be gleaned from his writings that goes beyond opinions? Once a month, we read a text from Gáspár Miklós Tamás' book “Antitézis” together, interpret it, discuss and debate it.

ABC project – Mapping Session

ro /

The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life, Siliștea Snagovului

May – July 2023
With Iuliana Dumitru and Adelina Ivan

The Experimental Station is slowly growing – with more than 80 species planted in the Cosmos Garden; with Demeter, a bread oven made by poet and gardener V. Leac using found and gifted local bricks; with raised beds of vegetables and medicinal plants; and with an invasion of turnips. Despite unpredictable weather conditions, our frequency to commute between the city and the project site increased, together with a familiarity of the surroundings and closeness with our (non)human neighbors.

Demetra, the bread oven

Built for the Station by V. Leac / ro /

The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life, Siliștea Snagovului

A traditional oven in the garden is a place to celebrate the harvest, the beginning and end of seasons (as unpredictable as they have become), to gather people around its fire and fresh smell of baking bread, to provide food, stories and shelter.
