Forever Is Now was a contemporary art exhibition that brought together the work of artists from throughout the region and the world for the unique opportunity of contemplating the wonder of an ancient civilization through a lens created by the interests, concerns, and passions of present-day artists.

Located at the 4500-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site, the Pyramids of Giza and the surrounding plateau, the exhibition questioned time as a continuum that both separates and unites civilizations. The juxtaposition of treasured cultural heritage with the rich diversity of contemporary art practices was designed to trace the continuity of themes stretching from the storied past to the vibrant present and to dream – in different ways – about humanity’s future.
