The exhibition, which is ran through 25 May, was held at the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in Mayfair, London.

The exhibition delved into discursive practices and disruptive modes of interpretation, exploring the notion of time and timelessness, according to the Art D’Egypte’s press release.

It showcased a selection of internationally acclaimed artists who examine the power of juxtaposition, envisioning a future rooted in a deep understanding of the past and present. By challenging conventional narratives and disrupting societal norms, the exhibition demonstrates how art can create spaces for interaction and perception.

On display were works by Jwan Yosef, a Syrian-born artist based in London and Los Angeles; JR, known for his large-scale photographic collages that transcend traditional gallery spaces and who showcases 'Greetings from Giza' series; Sultan bin Fahad whose abstract drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations explore material culture in Saudi Arabia; alongside Gisela Colòn, Natalie Clark, urban artist SpY and Ahmed Farid.

The exhibition is curated by Art D'Egypte founder, a French-Egyptian art consultant Nadine Abdel-Ghaffar.
