Nadine Abdel Ghaffar<\/h1>\n\n

Nadine Abdel Ghaffar stands in front of public art work displayed at the pyramids of Giza for the exhibition “Forever is Now”<\/p>\n\n

For centuries, the Pyramids belonged to antiquity. Now, thanks to Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, they\u2019ve become a stage for contemporary art and global fashion \u2014 a juxtaposition unthinkable until she made it real.<\/p>\n\n

In 2021, the French-Egyptian curator became the first person to mount a contemporary art exhibition at the UNESCO World Heritage site \u2014 a feat that required years of navigating government bureaucracy, convincing skeptical archeologists and proving that modern art could honor rather than diminish one of humanity\u2019s most sacred monuments. Now in its fifth edition, her Forever Is Now has transformed the Giza plateau into the world\u2019s most storied open-air gallery, drawing blue-chip artists, fashion houses and collectors to a site where permits remain notoriously difficult to secure.<\/p>\n\n\n

This year\u2019s exhibition, running through Dec. 6, features 10 international artists including Arte Povera pioneer Michelangelo Pistoletto, whose Third Paradise installation represents a career highlight for the 92-year-old Nobel Peace Prize nominee. The work \u2014 a mirrored obelisk surrounded by blocks tracing the mathematical symbol for infinity \u2014 has traveled to 60 nations, but Pistoletto considers the pyramids its most resonant home. \u201cThe pyramids are the base, the origin of our whole story,\u201d the artist said. \u201cThey represent the human being\u2019s desire for survival in terms of immortality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Portuguese street artist Vhils presents Doors of Cairo, assembled from doors collected throughout the city that become vessels of collective history. Lebanese architect Nadim Karam\u2019s Desert Flowers rises as lotus-like sculptures forged from reclaimed materials. The opening drew designer Angela Missoni, Turkish actress Esra Bilgi\u00e7, Egyptian cinema icon Hussein Fahmy and members of the Cairo International Film Festival jury.<\/p>\n\n\n

Art D\u2019\u00c9gypte, the organization Abdel Ghaffar founded in 2016, operates as both cultural producer and social enterprise. Forever Is Now is its flagship initiative, but the organization first made its mark staging exhibitions at Egypt\u2019s most significant heritage sites \u2014 the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Manial Palace, and historic Al-Mu\u2019iz Street \u2014 before arriving at the Pyramids in 2021. The model relies entirely on private sponsorship rather than government funding, a rarity in a region where cultural initiatives typically depend on state support.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhat I was doing was completely unorthodox,\u201d Abdel Ghaffar told WWD. \u201cWe don\u2019t have contemporary land art in public spaces in Egypt. I said, \u2018OK, let\u2019s show the transcendence we have with our past\u2019, because most contemporary Egyptian artists are influenced by ancient Egypt in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Her influence extends well beyond the art world.<\/p>\n\n

Abdel Ghaffar was instrumental in bringing Christian Dior\u2018s historic 2022 men\u2019s show to the Pyramids \u2014 a collaboration born when chief executive officer Pietro Beccari attended the first Forever Is Now in 2021.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Dior experience really touched my heart,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not from the fashion world, but when I met Maria Grazia and Kim Jones and saw the research and how careful they were about cultural authenticity, I had so much respect. We worked for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

That December 2022 show, with Naomi Campbell, Lewis Hamilton and Robert Pattinson among the 800 guests, shifted how luxury brands view Egypt as a cultural destination. \u201cIt is a big step for the government to authorize Art D\u2019\u00c9gypte and Dior to organize events at the foot of the pyramids,\u201d she said. \u201cPromoting the country\u2019s culture must be a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The exhibition arrives at a pivotal moment for Egypt. The $1 billion Grand Egyptian Museum opened this month just 2 kilometers from the Giza plateau, bringing European and Arab royals to Cairo and putting over 100,000 artifacts on display, many never seen before. But Abdel Ghaffar has been building toward this cultural renaissance since 2016, starting at Cairo\u2019s Egyptian Museum before expanding to historic sites across the city.<\/p>\n\n

Her path was shaped by an unconventional upbringing in Alexandria among artists, archeologists and intellectuals. Before founding Art D\u2019\u00c9gypte, she managed portfolios for important Egyptian artistic families, working with Christie\u2019s, Sotheby\u2019s and Bonhams from her Cairo base.<\/p>\n\n

What distinguishes her approach is treating art as social infrastructure. Her guides program trains local youth with paid honorariums and UNESCO-endorsed certificates, while openings welcome the public before VIPs. \u201cYou see a minister, and you see the guy from the shop next door, and you see the little kid wandering behind barefoot,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t create any segregation. It is really public art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Her influence has expanded through CulturVator, her Dubai-based consultancy working across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Greece. As luxury brands seek cultural credibility, she sees opportunity for deeper fashion partnerships.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re open,\u201d Abdel Ghaffar said. \u201cPeople still talk about that Dior show. Art can change the world. Finding the space where people come together as humans \u2014 doesn\u2019t matter where you come from, who you are, or what religion you follow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
