Notable participants include 92-year-old Nobel Peace Prize nominee Michelangelo Pistoletto, Portuguese artist Vhils (Alexandre Farto), US-based Alex Proba, the Russian Recycle Group, Lebanese artist Nadim Karam, Franco-Beninese ceramicist King Houdekpinkou, and Turkish sculptor Mert Ege Köse, among others.

Italian artist and Arte Povera pioneer Michelangelo Pistoletto, aged 91, has been announced as a headliner for the 2025 edition of "Forever Is Now," an annual outdoor exhibition at the Great Pyramids of Giza. Pistoletto will create a monumental installation described as merging ancient civilization with modern ideas, with full details yet to be revealed. The project involves his Cittadellarte foundation, which is offering a fully-funded three-year bachelor course at its Unidee Academy in Biella, Italy, to Egyptian artists, supported by the Italian Institute of Culture in Cairo.
