Capa Center presents: Pécsi József Photography Grant 2022
The photography grant created for commemorating the photographer, professional writer and photography teacher József Pécsi (1889–1956), was founded by the Ministry of Culture and Education in 1991. Its purpose is to help to start the career, creative work, and development of talented photographers working as independent artists, and to provide them with favorable conditions for the creation of high-quality artworks which are modern both in terms of form and content. The series exhibited this year also attest to that the grant recipients have created quality works by employing the diverse possibilities of photography.

Exhibited artists: Máté BARTHA, Benedek BOGNÁR, Anna Veronika KIS-KÉRY, Hanna RÉDLING, András Tibor VIZI, András ZOLTAI

Capa Center presents: FUTURES – European Photography Platform

Operating since 2017, the Futures platform aims to draw attention to Europe’s emerging photographers. Every year, 19 institutions connected to the professional network of Futures select approximately 120 emerging photographers who are nominated to join the platform. The professional curatorial network offered by the platform makes it possible for each selected ‘Futures talent’ to reach relevant professionals, players in the art market, and the general public in a broader sense. The project, co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme triggers new developments in the world of photography by expanding the opportunities for selected artists.
