The Canvas event is the Fediverse's take on r/place, I.E, a collaborative artwork where every participant can place down a single pixel every 30 seconds.
This limitation means the only way to assemble a larger piece of art is for people to come together in groups to collectively decide what they'll be drawing (usually with a pixel art template someone proposes), where it will be on the canvas, and communicate with other groups working on neighboring artworks so as not to impede their efforts, or even to negotiate mutual aid treaties to help maintain each other's art from potential hit-and-run attacks.
SLRPNK participated in 2024's Canvas event, which @Five@slrpnk.net documented in one of our previous Monthly Meta's. There's also a fun timelapse from last year's Canvas event here.
If there are any Solarpunks interested in participating this year, this thread might be a good place to organize and collaborate :)
The Canvas Event will take place at this link On July 17th, and run for 48 hours. Here is their official post about it for more details.
i won't be participating, but that's cute
