Description:”},{“box”:489,”content”:”This September, Cape Town becomes a city-wide gallery as the Cape Town Photo Festival is underway with a vibrant, thought-provoking programme that celebrates photography in all its forms. From groundbreaking exhibitions and artist talks to hands-on workshops, music performances, and panel discussions, the festival brings together acclaimed international names, celebrated South African voices, and rising talent to explore the art, craft, and future of photography.
Centered at 6 Spin Street Gallery but spanning venues from Simon’s Town to Bellville, Observatory to Kalk Bay, the festival is a meeting point for photographers, creatives, and curious newcomers alike. Expect the unexpected: AI debates with leading visual thinkers, intimate artist meet-and-greets, immersive printmaking demonstrations, live music that crosses genres, and bold new perspectives from across the globe.
With events for everyone, the Cape Town Photo Festival is as accessible as it is inspiring. Drop in for a gallery opening on a First Thursday, dive deep into a specialist workshop, or spend the day moving between exhibitions and talks — the choice is yours.

- Peter Glendinning’s Attached to the Soil – Opening at Simon’s Town Museum.
