Solarpunk Music: Notes on Anti-Hauntology and Eco-Futurism – Despite the fact that there seems to be a very distinct crossover in the underlying logic of anti-hauntology and solarpunk, imagining what might constitute a ‘solarpunk music’ is a question that has not really been addressed in any substantial way. –> https://bluelabyrinths.com/2026/07/20/solarpunk-music-notes-on-an...

Nature or Culture? Europeans Can Vote on the New Banknote Design – A panel of jurors selected the designs, which follow one of two themes: European places and ideas or birds and rivers, the latter of which is meant to symbolize freedom and unity.
