"I remember thinking 'I hope they will chose me' even though I had no reason to think it, but I just love this project very much. It's also a kind of childish fascination from when I heard about it, the time capsule." -Karl Ove Knausgård

A standout conversation at today’s @FuturelibraryNO symposium between @PanasheChig and @EfieZethu, which challenged participants to rethink their relationship with time and material culture as we reckon with the crisis of modernity and the ongoing coloniality of being.
