OPEN FUTURES Vol.3 : A Solarpunk Open Mic (ONLINE Edition)

🌱 OPEN FUTURES: A SOLARPUNK OPEN MIC 🌞

1st International Online Edition

In these challenging times, we choose to gather. To dream better. To imagine louder.

To tell stories that grow like gardens. 🌻

OPEN FUTURES is a solar-powered open mic and creative gathering for people and artists of all disciplines — musicians, poets, storytellers, dancers, performers, filmmakers, dreamers of any kind — to share works that sprout from kindness, hope, imagination, and regenerative futures.

You have from 1 to 5 minutes max to present something — improvised or prepared — driven either by love, empathy, peace, social and climate justice or that fits within a solarpunk or optimistic future context, such as an ode to a train powered by algae, a love story under bioluminescent trees, a beat inspired by community gardens in the sky, and a paragraph or two on where were you, when humanity took the unanimous vow to heal the earth and themselves.

YET THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION: OPEN FUTURES Online Edition will replace the solar-powered system for a videocall aiming to gather dreamers from all across the world.

As our Berlin community will be like migratory birds following the sun from diferent directions throughout the winter and we want to keep the seeds growing, we are taking this chance to open our event not just to those outside of Berlin, but for also for visual and 3D artists among others.

What is solarpunk?

More than a mood, it’s a movement, a radical commitment to envisioning futures rooted in sustainability, equity, joy, and community care. It resists dystopia – not with naïve optimism, but with collective imagination and grounded action, where -everyone- is free.

We’ll gather at 5 pm (Europe)/ 1pm (Chile) / 9am (Pacific Time) ONLINE, where our host Roberto Andrés (co-founder of the ecological film collective Fën) will open the portal with a storytelling monologue, setting the tone of this imagined world — from 2025 to 2044 and beyond — and leaving you, the creators, to fill in the rest.

You will find the MEETING LINK here above, and at our Telegram Channel where we will post updates of our event and anything that can help you prepare for before and after this gathering.

✨ What to bring:

• A piece to share (or just your ears, eyes and heart)
• Your own drinks & snacks ;)
• A donation (optional) — Whatever we collect we distribute 50/50 in order to cover our operational costs, and support a selected ecological or peace-driven organizations from around the globe.
