The Great Pyramids of Giza (Pyramids of Giza) will host Forever Is Now 06 from 8 to 28 November 2026. Art D’Égypte’s contemporary art exhibition will place site-specific installations and new commissions across the Giza Plateau in Egypt.
The exhibition brings the ancient necropolis into a current cultural programme without turning the pyramids into a conventional gallery venue. Its works will be encountered across the surrounding plateau, where the archaeological setting remains part of the exhibition’s subject.
Forever Is Now brings site-specific art to the Giza Plateau
Art D’Égypte describes Forever Is Now as an exhibition connecting artists from the region and elsewhere with the ancient landscape. The official programme lists the sixth edition from 8 November 2026 to 28 November 2026 at the Pyramids of Giza.
The programme includes site-specific installations and monumental new commissions. Its themes include continuity, spatial order and cultural memory, while references to sacred geometry, cosmology and traditional craftsmanship connect the contemporary works with the character of the plateau.
The organiser’s official exhibition page names the venue, organiser and dates. It also identifies French, American, British-Jamaican and Egyptian practices among the participating artistic perspectives.
The Giza pyramids remain a UNESCO World Heritage Site
The pyramids stand within Memphis and its Necropolis, the UNESCO World Heritage property extending across the pyramid fields from Giza to Dahshur. UNESCO describes the property as a funerary landscape containing tombs, mastabas, temples and pyramids.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, according to UNESCO. The wider property includes the three pyramids of Giza alongside archaeological remains from several periods of Egyptian history.
That status gives Forever Is Now a precise setting rather than a generic backdrop. The exhibition’s modern materials and technologies will be placed beside a landscape whose architectural and religious evidence is protected as part of a wider archaeological ensemble. The UNESCO property description records the Giza plateau’s place within that ensemble.
A women-led sixth edition connects art and archaeology
Forever Is Now 06 is led primarily by women artists for the first time in the exhibition’s history, the organiser says. The listed participants include Charlotte Colbert, Abdul Rahman Taha, Geoffroy Pithon, Raphaele Shirley, Rochelle Nembhard and Qiong Er.
Nadine Abdel Ghaffar founded Art D’Égypte. The organisation presents the exhibition as a meeting point between heritage and contemporary artistic practice, with the plateau functioning as both venue and material context.
