Internationally acclaimed art exhibition ‘Forever Is Now’ is scheduled to launch its third edition at the Great Pyramids of Giza between 26 October and 18 November, as unveiled by the organizer Art D’Egypte.
“This year, we look to the future while honoring our past and staying rooted in the now,” said Art D’Egypte’s French-Egyptian founder Nadine Abdel-Ghaffar.
“Our curatorial theme is centered around play and the idea that hope is our driving force, as we once again aim to push the envelope and present something novel every year,” added Abdel-Ghaffar, according to the “Ahram Online” website.
Forever Is Now is a contemporary art exhibition that brings together regional and international artists to contemplate the wonders of ancient civilization.
The event is sponsored by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the National Commission for UNESCO.
In 2022, 12 artists showcased their artwork at Forever Is Now, attended by several prominent public figures, including Queen Mother Sofia of Spain, former Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, UAE Minister of Culture and Youth Noura Al Kaabi, and a group of professional artists from Tate Britain, among others.
Forever Is Now is only the latest challenge for Abdel-Ghaffar, who has previously curated exhibitions such as Eternal Light at the Egyptian Museum (2017); Nothing Vanishes, Everything Transforms at Manial Palace (2018); and Reimagined Narratives at four sites on El-Mu’iz Street in historic Cairo (2019).
