How do we future? Are there skills and practices we need to get better at?  How can we share them with each other? The future is often described as a far away place we have very little control over, but one day, somewhere, someone imagined that we would live the way we live today. So we are inviting you to use the library space to imagine and practice more caring and connected futures, whether that’s in our relationship to technology, to nature or to future generations.

The festival will take place from March 1st to March 14th in the Reykjavik City Library Grófin (downtown). All events will be free of charge and open to all. The full programme will be here soon. 

Here is a preview of what the festival has to offer:

• explore how to break from our over-dependency on technology
• join a repair café
• design your dream garden
• ​​take home seedlings from our seeds library, alongside a planting calendar for the Icelandic climate
• explore your own story of migration and creative ways to make long-term roots in Iceland
• express how you experience time and view the future
• etc
