CAP Association Details
The CAP Association is a not for profit association based in Basel, Switzerland founded with the aim of executing African photography projects in November 2016. The association was initiated through projects that were previously started in the frame work of Verein Liaison. Today the association executes the CAP Prize for Contemporary African Photography awarded annually to five photographic portfolios that engage with the African continent or its diaspora. This annual celebration of African photography quickly led to the implementation of a festival titled IAF Festival for Contemporary Art. Another project is the Edition POCPAP a limited print edition of a number of POPCAP winners photographs that are for sale online and through exhibitions. In addition the CAP Association offers a workshop and coaching program labeled CAP Academy, tought mainly by the winners of the CAP Prize, to foster photographic practices on the African continent.
