Future Archives London: Who Owns the Story Now?
A live Litro evening on memory, authorship, AI, archives, and the future of literary culture.
Thursday 28 May 2026
Future Archives is Litro’s live and editorial series exploring what happens to writing, memory, and cultural work as stories move between print, web, audio, live performance, and AI systems.
The London evening brings together readings, conversation, and music around one central question: who gets to preserve, interpret, and profit from cultural memory now?
Location: The Vaulty Towers, Waterloo, London
Time: 18:00 – 21:00
Admission: Free, RSVP encouraged
Capacity: Limited
Programme
- Live readings from Future Archives contributors
- Conversation on authorship, archives, and AI
- Music / performance
- Audience discussion
- Post-event editorial and audio documentation
Why this matters
Writers, publishers, archives, museums, and cultural institutions are all facing the same pressure: how to preserve creative work, credit authors properly, and build future audiences without flattening the original context. Future Archives turns that question into a public programme.
Future Archives is being developed as a city‑based series, with London as the first live edition and New York planned next.
