A new exhibition unfolding at Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza reframes the historic site, as a place where not only history but also contemporaneity is reflected; as a site where individuals can also see themselves and their communities. The show, titled “Forever Is Now,” marks the third iteration of the exhibition and features site-specific installations by 14 international and regional artists. Each artist, through their individual practice, investigates Egyptian heritage in tandem with topics of today, such as renewable energy and artificial intelligence, pointing towards how the past continually informs the present and future.
“Each and every artwork has a diverse message,” says Nadine Abdel Ghaffer, founder of Art D’Egypte by Culturvator, the organization hosting the show. But despite each artist’s unique approach, with the show, “people can see the line between the antiquity and the contemporary,” she continues.
