Move quietly and plant things :)

Solar Punk memes, writing, idealism, and urbanism. Utopians welcome.

Solarpunk imagines a world in which today’s existential threat - the climate crisis - is being approached with camaraderie and adaptive ingenuity.

In a solarpunk society, how would transgression look like? Obviously not the lame edgy kind like throwing a plastic wrap on the ground but the artistic, aesthetic, sexualized forms of transgression that challenge the status quo. Does it even make sense to pose such a question in an utopic setting? (especially one naively devoid of social tension like solarpunk)

Guerrilla gardening in urban spaces, seed bombs, squatting in general to revitalize urban spaces etc.

But maybe I am misunderstanding your question. You mean once there is a SolarPunk like society?

Yes. In a Solarpunk Society, not in the present.

yeah but for what purpose? What new order would they try to install by committing such transgression?

This would be taboo maybe, but the kind of taboo that doesn't get questioned, it's just part of the new order, unchallengeable power. If you did actually violate such a taboo you would probably just be edgy

I guess it is good to ask what the unspoken rules of such a society might be.

Transgression has no political purpose. Maybe you mean subversion?
