Future Library

Wonderful chat @JBhattacharji @TOIPlus @TimesSpecialTOI @annebeatehovind @MargaretAtwood open.spotify.com/episode/29UpR3…

Elif Şafak’ın da aralarında bulunduğu 100 yıllık dev proje ❗️💯 Norveç’te 2114 yılında tamamlanacak olan “Geleceğin Kütüphanesi” (Future Library) projesi, 100 yıl boyunca hiç kimse tarafından okunmayacak bir edebi arşiv olarak kurgulandı. Sanatçı Katie Paterson tarafından 2014 yılında başlatılan proje için Oslo yakınlarındaki bir ormana tam 1.000 adet ladin fidanı dikildi. Her yıl dünya edebiyatından bir yazar, içeriği mühürlü ve gizli kalmak kaydıyla yazdıkları bir eserlerini bu kütüphaneye teslim ediyor. Margaret Atwood, Elif Şafak, Han Kang ve David Mitchell gibi isimlerin bugün Oslo'daki Deichman Kütüphanesi'nde, "Sessiz Oda" adı verilen özel bir alanda bekleyen eserleri, ancak 2114 yılında fidanların kesilip kağıda dönüştürülmesiyle basılabilecek. Bugün yaşayan hiçbir insanın tamamını okuyamayacağı bu 100 kitaplık koleksiyon, ancak bir asır sonraki kuşaklar için gün yüzüne çıkacak.

#Throwback: In 2021 Tsitsi Dangarembga became the 8th writer selected for the Future Library project - an organic artwork by Scottish artist Katie Paterson, which is set to see books by selected authors only being published in the year 2114. Read more: greedysouth.co.zw/2021/08/tsitsi…

@GhoshAmitav .....to write something speculative, but the world will be so profoundly changed in 80 years that whatever you write will seem hilarious. You don’t want to make a fool of yourself in that way.@FuturelibraryNO @NorwayAmbIndia @NorwayMFA newindianexpress.com/cities/bengalu…

What a fine evening today with Amitav Ghosh at the Norwegian Ambassador's Residence celebrating the publication of his new novel, 'Ghost Eye' (HarperCollins India) and his forthcoming contribution to Noway's 'Future Library' in Oslo. @FuturelibraryNO

A delight to host @GhoshAmitav in conversation with Director of @FuturelibraryNO @annebeatehovind. Thanks @HarperCollinsIN for the collaboration. Ghosh will contribute a manuscript to Future Library in Norway, which will remain unseen till 2114! (1/3)

Here it comes... Book of Lives... November 4. (And yesterday someone spelled it "Book of Lies." Take your pick.)

En un mundo en el que parece no existir el futuro, con The Future Library la artista Katie Paterson nos hace preguntarnos cómo será el mundo a cien años vista, y lo hace desde la esperanza. por @gn_rebeca jotdown.es/2025/04/el-fut…
