The inaugural edition of the Cape Town Photography Festival will explore the multifaceted concept of heritage through photography, offering a platform to engage with visual narratives from local, national, and international perspectives. Heritage is a powerful link between the past, present, and future. It fosters a sense of belonging, grounding us in place and time while helping us understand where we come from, and who we are. Heritage informs identity. With a dynamic progrmme of Exhibitions, Talks, Demonstrations and Workshops we aim to engage diverse audiences. We also aim to foster deep connections with the youth through educational workshops.
"Cape Town has a rich history of celebrating photography, having hosted the Month of Photography festival from the late 1990s until 2014. Since then, the photographic landscape in South Africa has evolved significantly, with a new generation of artists using the medium to explore urgent social, political, and environmental issues. The city itself has also grown as a cultural hub, now home to two new private museums that reflect its expanding commitment to the arts" (Heidi Erdmann / Festival Director).
