Recap Gallery

The first SPF was a two-week intensive starting in August 2018 where inter­na­tional illus­trators and researchers worked together to explore ecolog­i­cally-balanced futures through scenario-building and art making.The festival made use of informal presen­ta­tions to explore sustain­ability issues in a partic­i­patory and nonhier­ar­chical environment. Collab­o­rators in SPF18 produced a mural, infographics, and a pop-up instal­lation at TU Berlin. Impor­tantly, SPF created an environment for trans­dis­ci­plinary exchange and knowledge transfer.

Outputs

Solar capsule

Future Living

Bringing together many ideas and proto­types, SPF artists collab­o­ra­tively created “Solar Capsule”, a colorful and playful living environment from the Solarpunk future. Visitors inhabited and inter­acted with the piece. The capsule’s artefacts highlighted different ideas for carbon-neutral living environ­ments in an acces­sible and friendly way. 

Mural
at Ferropolis

From Coal Dust to Comeback

After a two-week exami­nation of the topic of the energy transition the artists visualized their collective knowledge and resulting future ideas in a big mural in Ferropolis – the former strip mine Golpa-Nord. There the mural will be acces­sible to everyone and hopefully spark inter­esting conversations.
