Anybody know if there's any large repositories for Solarpunk, Utopian/Protopian, Anarchofuturist, and/or Afrofuturist media? Looking for freely available images, video/gifs, and audio/music. I eventually want to create my own media to add to the world, but that may take a while. NO AI PLEASE!! - ThreadSky

Not solarpunk per se, but depending on what specifically you're looking for, this might be a helpful resource. You may have get a bit creative with your search terms though.

I also know of several artists who make solarpunk material, but it's not free to use, understandably.

Appreciate the resource, but yeah this seems to be more history stuff and nothing in the realm of what I'm looking for.

I wish I could support artists financially, but I just lost my job and its not feasible atm. Hoping to work with some folks on a more mutual skill exchange thing though.

There's a smattering of stuff on wikimedia commons under the solarpunk category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Solarpunk

Unfortunately there's also a bunch of AI art on there, but anything by Commando Jugendstil and the lemonaut is quality stuff!

I know Sean Bodley has made some of his solarpunk art available to other projects but I'm not sure what the circumstances are, might be worth taking a look or reaching out

I also experienced AI cannot yet come up with visionary views of the future, as it tends to always repeat the patterns of the current world even if you promt to not do so: Skyscrapers= city, roads = for cars &in grids, houses=US suburbia. When i imagine future i do not think of greenwashed facades.
