'MOP5: Month of Photography'
Various Artists at Various venues around Cape TownThe Cape Town Month of Photography Festival, MOP, created by the South African Centre for Photography, is the most extensive Photographic culture event in South Africa, now in its 5th presentation. Like its international counterparts, Paris Photo, Visa Pour l’Image Perpignan, The London Month of Photography and the New York Photo Festival in May, it exhibits still and moving images in bodies of work created by the current top photographers and artists of the country as well as those in historical archives and currently on the international photography scene. It offers educational components including exhibition walkabouts, workshops, master classes, seminars and social events that gear towards the culture seeker, the lay photographer, the amateur, the apprentice, the professional, academic, curator and the collector, servicing many layers of attraction for all.
Events are scheduled to stagger their durations, displaying at the Castle of Good Hope, top galleries, museums, cinemas, event halls and other upmarket city venues from mid September with the official Grand Opening on the 27th September 2012, the peak of the festival cooling down into mid November. We also hope to present a charity exhibition and auction.
