Event Description

Let's be honest: these are dark times.
The world seems to be fragmenting, caught up in turmoil and increasingly confrontational divisions. Points of reference are becoming blurred, narratives are hardening, and culture sometimes struggles to find the space it needs to breathe and bring people together. Something is wearing thin, and the narratives we use to move forward are beginning to show their limitations.Amid this unstable period, there have been moments of light. An anniversary that reminded us of how far we've come. Shared dreams. Water, which came with its storm, but also with unwavering solidarity. Despite the headwinds, we stood together. And this collective momentum brought hope. 
Today, it is necessary to rebuild concrete foundations. Ephemeral utopias have long nourished our capacity for hope, for imagining other possibilities. Now, a question arises:
What if we planted the seeds of a possible future, one that is finally conceivable?In 2020, we talked about utopia and nature: a tree was to be its symbol. But the world decided otherwise. The storm has passed, but it has also nourished the earth.
In the ruins of a fragile civilization, where a few drops still fall, nature returns and slips into the cracks. This return to life is the fruit of what we have cultivated together. At the heart of this rebirth, a hand appears. It watches over and protects a seed, already sprouting. Fragile but alive, this seed carries the idea of a possible future. This seed is a hope that we choose to no longer leave at the stage of a dream.
A solarpunk future, rooted in reality, imagined by the values of a community attentive to life. A future that blossoms over time, through inventiveness, responsible technology, and a committed hand.This first chapter, “The Seed,” plants the optimistic future of the city of Hadra Solarpunk, founded on the symbiosis between nature, humans, and responsible progress. Join us from August 27 to 30, 2026, at the Plan d'Eau de Vieure to write this new story together. We are proud to be collaborating once again with Antoine Doré. Congratulations on his unique work, which illustrates the first pages of this trilogy.
