Forever is Now 05 invites viewers to explore the mythic and historical layers of the Giza plateau, allowing contemporary voices to reinterpret the meanings of endurance and legacy. As we walk among these timeless monuments, the exhibition asks: What stories will we leave behind? What truths and myths will define us in the future? In a world constantly transforming, the Pyramids stand as eternal witnesses, challenging us to consider how our present will be woven into the legends of tomorrow.

The overarching vision behind this annual exhibition is to build a culture of interconnectivity and care, one where perspectives shift, and interpretations evolve. Bringing together people from around the world, the exhibition includes cross-cultural exchange with local communities, encouraging a high level of engagement with different publics, not just visitors but also craftspeople, students, and labourers, thus providing new ways of accessing contemporary art for the uninitiated.

Forever Is Now 05 is an ode to the enchantment of ancient Egypt’s cultural heritage while the contemporary installations are a testament to the continual evolution of art. Taking place during a tumultuous time that sees our present disturbed in myriad ways, the exhibition is guided by the enigmatic wisdom of ancient Egyptian beliefs, delving into themes of transcendence, hope and faith that are anchored within our knowledge and constant discovery of the past and in the unwavering belief that there is no conception of the future without history. We look at the narrative of past achievements to question, find inspiration and understand the nature of the successive generations. Forever is Now.05 is not simply a revival of this history, however, for the past can never be complete in the present. Rather, it is a contribution to a contemporary artistic legacy in a place of worldwide historical significance.
