    Art Nouveau is beautiful and generally a good fit for SolarPunk but I would also make sure to emphasize the optimistic eco-futurism as well. Solarpunk shouldn’t feel nostalgic, in my opinion, but rather hopeful.

      I’ll definitely keep that in mind. By emphasizing optimistic eco futurism would that mean including pictures or motifs of solarpunk tech (such as hydroponics)?

        I think hydroponics, sustainable energy sources, technology improving people’s lives like prosthesis, etc, are all a great way to communicate the balance of taking what’s good about both new and old ways of life to make something novel that treats humans more kindly than the way we currently live
