Hey Solarpunk Toronto! We'll be meeting at Bampot Tea, which calls itself a "Public Living Room"; it's an extremely solarpunk venue. By agreement with the venue, it will cost $10/person to attend this meetup, for which you'll get one free tea-service! They have so many yummy teas. Anything after that (more tea, food, etc) is extra, of course. Let's have a solarpunk tea party! And let's talk prefigurative solarpunk life, how can we live now as if our desired solarpunk future was here. I hope this experience of community in a "public living room" helps us feel that!
AND: Solarpunk Tarot! Your organizer, Eric Boyd, has been designing a "solarpunk tarot deck", basically, solarpunk themed cards that people will be able to use in order to divine their future in a solarpunk world. So far I've got "alphas", i.e. very early version which is super rough and in need of a lot of feedback and wholesale editing and revision.
Please come out and see the deck! I'll have at least two copies on hand, so there will be a deck for people to look at, while I (or anyone who wants to) can give tarot readings with the other. There are 100 cards, at least half of which are vaguely- or very-solarpunk themed: everything from Community Garden to Eco-Artisan to Sun Salutation to Prefigurative and Protopia. You can see all the art online if you want, the deck is and will be open source.
