Future Library

13th August 8:15 PM 9:30 PM BST

Norway’s Future Library is a powerful gesture of hope for a world beyond our lifetime. Every year, for 100 years, an author writes a new book to be placed inside its walls; every text remains unread until 2114. Join Future Library’s Anne Beate Hovind as she leads a conversation on personal and collective memory, on past lives and legacies, exploring how individual and cultural heritage makes for a stronger society. Plus, find out the sensational writer contributing to the Future Library in 2026.
