CAP Prize 2020 & 2021 in Rieterpark
In this large-format open-air exhibition in Rieterpark, nine photographic series awarded the CAP Prize – the international prize for contemporary African photography – can be explored for the first time in Zurich.
Since 2012, the CAP Prize has been aimed at photographers whose work was taken on the African continent or deals with an African diaspora. It consists of a series of exhibitions in collaboration with leading photography institutions and festivals in Africa and the rest of the world.
Each year, five winners are selected by an international jury. The CAP Prize is open to artists of all ages and backgrounds.
The exhibition is be presented at the same time as the exhibition "The Future is Blinking" at Museum Rietberg. For the first time, the exhibition shows the earliest photographs by local photographers from West and Central Africa at the end of the 19th century. While the museum exhibition illuminates the beginnings of photographic practice on the African continent, the CAP Prize shows works by contemporary photographers.
