The Time Capsule for Humanity is a global art and storytelling initiative that invites people everywhere to answer one timeless question: What makes us human?

Each submission — whether written, visual, or audio — contributes to a living archive that celebrates our humanity. Selected works will be featured in a special collective artwork to be sealed for 50 years and reopened in 2075, preserving a snapshot of our humanity for future generations.

Every submission is reviewed by our team. Selected entries will appear in the final Time Capsule artwork. All valid submissions will be saved in our digital archive as part of the project’s history.

Submissions not chosen for the final artwork will stay in our private archive. They won’t be displayed publicly but will remain part of the full record of contributions and may be in the future curated in a public archive.

If your submission is chosen, you will receive an email from us. The list of selected contributors will also be shared on the official Time Capsule website and social media pages.

Everyone is welcome to join — individuals, groups, schools, and organizations from any country.
