With their roots in science fiction, solarpunk and lunarpunk started off as subcultures of this genre, shaping the aesthetic of stories about the future and how technology could improve our lives. Solarpunk has a strong environmental connection with images of green cities, sustainable tech, and linear, waste-free cycles. Lunarpunk goes a little deeper, as it’s built around a more personal connection with the environment, showcasing Wiccan aesthetics and elements like bioluminscence and fungi.

We’ll discuss how solarpunk and lunarpunk can be used to actively promote sustainable lifestyles and share some examples of the aesthetics involved in these movements.
