Seapunk is regrouping in Chiang Mai this July 12-20. We’re calling it Seapunk Midsummer Studio (SMS).

What’s SMS about?

The core of SMS will be a 7-day pop-up studio between July 13-19, during which we’ll have:

• A shared studio / HQ / living room space for our group (at the Furama Chiang Mai)
• Several group brainstorming / planning / strategizing / co-creating sessions for upcoming Seapunk research, programs, creative production, public engagement, and more (there’s a lot to envision and figure out together)

Sandwiching the pop-up studio are a couple special events:

• A public sci-fi workshop (Good Ghosting) on July 12 (Sat)
• A secret salon on July 20 (Sun)

There’s also an external academic conference on Decolonizing Southeast Asian Studies at CMU that week (July 17-19) which some of us will be attending (and where a couple of us will be sharing a Seapunk paper).

Why are we doing this?

1. Co-creating Seapunk’s next chapter(s) — it’s now nine months (and countless learnings + experiences) since Seapunk’s inaugural gathering last October, and we’re now about midway through Season One, with a very exciting few months ahead. SMS will be where we gather, recap, co-vision, strategize, design, and plan the next set of initiatives — and there’s lots of space and platform for all Seapunks interested in getting involved.
2. It will be fun — Confer and un-confer, co-imagine, create something you’ve thought up but haven’t got to build out with friends, chill, explore, and celebrate seapunk hospitality. #IRLFTW
