  • Summary

  • What does it take to create something that lasts 100 years? To dream so big that the future feels close enough to touch?

    Anne Beate Hovind knows. She commissions art in public spaces, but not just any art – meaningful actions of positive disruptions, geared with radical hope. Projects like the Future Library, where trees are growing today to one day become books for people not yet born, and Losæter, a communal urban farm reimagined as art.

    With two decades of experience at the crossroads of culture, business, and public spaces, Anne Beate transforms cities from the heart outward, encouraging us all to think bigger, dream bolder, and act braver.

    In this episode, we explore the story of the Future Library Project and what it takes to commission art for a century-long project. How taking risks can lead to the magic of the unexpected, and might we embrace the much-needed dance between linear and explorative thinking.

    If you’ve ever wondered how imagination can shape the future, and what it really means to be a good ancestor - this episode is for you.

    How good is it? We recorded it twice!
