Forever Is Now exhibition brings contemporary art to Giza pyramids
The sixth Forever Is Now exhibition is showing beside Egypt’s Giza pyramids.
The nearly month-long show brings together artworks that use the ancient landscape as more than a backdrop.
Artists connect the pyramids and Egyptian heritage with contemporary art, including Raphaele Shirley’s walk-through arches made from metal and woven palm reed.
French artist Geoffroy Pithon’s work sets vivid colours and an imagined garden against the desert.
The edition is led mainly by female artists and explores cultural memory, spatial order and what it means to build something lasting.
The exhibition runs until November 28, giving visitors time to see how artists place the ancient monuments in conversation with the present.

What people are saying
It’s a portal in a way, but where people can walk through and experience the pyramids and also experience the space in which they’re in
It’s like painting architecture, imaginary or poetic garden emerges from the desert
