Join Norwegian curator and cultural producer, Anne Beate Hovind and Kathryn Favelle, as they discuss The Future Library project.

12 years into the century-long literary artwork Future Library, created by Scottish artist Katie Paterson, producer and chair of the Future Library Trust Anne Beate Hovind shares the twelfth chapter of a project that will one day comprise one hundred.

Rooted in Oslo, Norway, the work grows, quite literally, alongside a forest planted in Nordmarka in 2014, whose trees will become the paper on which these sealed manuscripts will finally be printed in 2114.
