Solar futures from a future ruin

*SEE FULL PROGRAM HERE* 

SOLARIO considers solar energy and ecology in the contested context of Dallas infrastructure and development. How can the sun’s power be harnessed to evolve the US beyond an oil-based economy? How will the new Red political landscape affect the SunBelt’s future? 

Produced with New Cities, Future Ruins, a curatorial initiative and convening engaging the Western Sun Belt of the United States, and SMU’s Pollock Gallery.
