After Oil 2: Solarity

Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal · May 23–25, 2019

What social conditions would be required to initiate and sustain an energy transition animated by solarity—by both the energies of the sun and the collective energies of bodies working together?

More than seventy scholars, students, artists, activists, and practitioners engaged in three days of intensive reflection and collaboration. Workshops, presentations, and discussions explored feminist solarities, Indigenous solarities, community renewable energy, revolutionary solarities, Solarpunk, and speculative solarities.
