Solarpunk IRL · cmp_solarpunk_irl_2026

Real rooms. Surplus, not spectacle. Collectives that outlive one organizer.

Solarpunk IRL is how S² Arts Lab turns cooperative software into physical gatherings — find your people, RSVP, show up, sustain with mutual aid, and govern what repeats. Warm, plain, neighbor-to-neighbor. Not a platform pitch.

The one-line story

  1. Find your people — tribe match, Allies profiles, host sites
  2. Find your place — NAP Commons map, local circles
  3. RSVP — counted gatherings on Allies & Artists
  4. Show up — technology ends at a physical door
  5. Sustain — S² Pantry routes surplus and requests
  6. Observe the land — Observe First journal, zones, and credited guilds
  7. Power what lasts — Volt Farm coordinates community energy and local resilience
  8. Govern what repeats — DAOFlow project circles and community DAOs

How we talk about solarpunk here

Regenerative, not extractive. Lighter on the planet, kinder to communities, open to creative work that does not perform for an algorithm. BYOK and local-first defaults. Sibling app chips — not silos.
