June 10 Looking for a fun community activity to foster hope, ignite your imagination, and nurture connections? Join us for Riverworks' Solarpunk Book Club this spring, hosted in Poolesville. Solarpunk started off as a science fiction sub-genre that rejects dystopian future visions and focuses on building an egalitarian world in harmony with nature and technology. Led by Riverworks Associate Artist and local professor Christine Hubbard, we'll be meeting for lively discussions along with snacks from Locals Farm Market. Each month will focus on a book with Solarpunk features and you will receive an intro to the author/book, discussion questions, resources to learn more, and links to local related organizations and resources. A better world is possible, so let's get to dreaming and doing! (Suggested audience 18+ due to some elements in the books.) Books are not included. Books and dates: The Ministry for the Future, Kim Stanley Robinson: Wed. March 18 Monk and Robot, Becky Chambers: Wed. April 15 Parable of the Sower, Octavia Butler: Wed. May 13 The Fifth Sacred Thing, Starhawk: Wed. June 10
