Brightflame, whose upcoming workshop Learning From the Elements still has slots open, wrote about lunarpunk in a past blog post:

The genre (or subgenre) is new—at least, the label for it is new. Core to lunarpunk are hope and optimism. Like its hopeful, optimistic sibling solarpunk, lunarpunk is an evolving container, not easily defined and not concretized by definition. Jay Springett describes solarpunk as a container where some elements are pulled to the center as if by gravity of overlapping thought. Other elements float in and out at the edges, which are fuzzy, making for an amorphous and fluid container. With lunarpunk, even more so.

For me, lunarpunk

-illuminates the silvery shadows of solarpunk

-adds nonlinear, intuitive ways of thinking and feeling

-is magical

-speaks truth in non-Western-science ways of knowing

-creates paths to a just, regenerative world and bright futures

-not only centers environmental justice, it lifts social, economic, and all forms of justice and their intersectionality

-decenters humans in the web of life and illuminates relationships, communication, web-weaving among all beings

-holds the reality of different realms and communication across realms

Would you add to this list? How would you complete the sentence "For me lunarpunk ..." ?

Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms
