Art D’Égypte by Culturvator has announced that the fifth edition of its annual international exhibition Forever Is Now will take place from 11 November until 7 December 2025. Initially scheduled for October, the new schedule aligns the exhibition with the opening of the Grand Egypt Museum, reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to Egypt’s national cultural vision and to fostering collaboration between contemporary art and heritage institutions.
Held annually on the Giza Plateau, Forever Is Now is the first international contemporary art exhibition to be staged at Egypt’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since its inception in 2021, the exhibition has invited artists from around the world to engage with the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt through site-specific works that explore memory, transcendence, and the passage of time.
Among this year’s participants is Michelangelo Pistoletto, founder of Arte Povera and one of the most influential figures in post-war art. His large-scale installation, The Third Paradise, will unfold as a reflection on the human pursuit of continuity, bridging ancient and modern philosophies of existence. Extending his engagement beyond the exhibition, Pistoletto’s Cittadellarte Foundation will offer a scholarship for an Egypt-based artist to study at its Unidee Academy in Italy.
Other participating artists reimagine Egypt’s visual language through diverse media: Nadim Karam’s Desert Flowers, sculpted from recycled metal, evokes rebirth and endurance; Alex Proba and SolidNature’s Infinity Echoes pays tribute to geological time and the earth’s textures; Salha Al-Masry’s Ma’at transforms a royal seal into a participatory reflection on justice and balance; and Recycle Group’s Null examines the intersection of faith and digital consciousness.
Beyond the exhibition, Forever Is Now 05 is accompanied by a public programme of talks, workshops, and educational initiatives developed with cultural partners, continuing Art D’Égypte’s mission to merge artistic practice with heritage preservation and social engagement.
Location: Giza Plateau, Egypt.
Date: 11 November until 7 December 2025.
