Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Giza Pyramids, Forever Is Now 05 is currently bringing contemporary art to one of the world’s most iconic heritage sites. Running from 11 November to 6 December, this highly anticipated edition invites visitors to explore the mythic and historical layers of the Giza Plateau through artworks that reinterpret themes of endurance, legacy, and cultural memory. As we walk among the timeless monuments, the exhibition asks powerful questions: What stories will we leave behind? What myths and truths will define future generations?
This annual international exhibition is built on a vision of interconnectivity, cultural care, and artistic exchange, bringing together artists, local communities, craftspeople, students, and visitors from around the world. More than an art showcase, it creates meaningful engagement with different publics — especially those who may not typically have access to contemporary art — offering new ways to connect with creativity, heritage, and storytelling.
Forever Is Now 05 pays homage to the enchantment of ancient Egypt’s cultural heritage while spotlighting the dynamic evolution of contemporary artistic expression. Taking place during a moment of global complexity and uncertainty, this year’s edition draws inspiration from the symbolic wisdom of ancient Egyptian beliefs. Themes of transcendence, hope, faith, and continuity anchor the exhibition, reminding us that the future is inseparable from the lessons and legacies of the past.
Rather than reviving history, the exhibition contributes to a new artistic legacy set within a landscape of profound global significance. It invites visitors to reflect, question, and imagine — forging a living dialogue between ancient memory and the creative visions shaping our present.
For travelers seeking a unique cultural experience, Forever Is Now 05 offers one of Egypt’s most inspiring encounters: a rare fusion of contemporary art and ancient wonder, illuminated at the foot of the Pyramids. Excel Travel can curate your visit to this extraordinary exhibition, ensuring you experience its magic from the perfect perspective.
