CAP emerged in 1977 following the student uprisings of 1976 and was known for its non-sectarian political stance. CAP students learnt their craft from visiting UCT lecturers and artists of the calibre of Cecil Skotnes.

Wood and linocuts by past CAP students will be on show,
While the aesthetic impact that a piece of art makes is immediate, it is wise taking time to tap into the artist’s mindset and culture and to pause a while to understand the complex interrelation of form, colour content. Slowly, layers of meaning may be perceived. Each artwork, piece of pottery, sculpture or painting is more than an expression of the artist’s identity and intent. It becomes a vehicle that conveys the knowledge, aspirations, beliefs and values of the society he lives in.

Artworks:
Reunion of Namibia by Tyrone Appollis
The Dreamer by Vuyile Voyiya
Ubuntu by Richard Rhode
