Play. Freedom. Learning. These were the main ideas behind the CAPAZINE workshop 2018 and the publication that summarizes its products.

The framework of CAPAZINE’s activities, involving photographers and art critics, was partially provided by the format itself. (Fan)zines originally catered to a public with a shared special interest by facilitating uncensored information flow. The concept of zines has evolved into an umbrella term during the past decades that now includes a very wide range of publication types. One characteristic remained unchanged, however: zines are only bound by their own internal rules.

CAPAZINE is the zine of the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center, focusing on contemporary Hungarian photography, particularly on the work of six young artists selected. Its chief rule is already displayed on the cover: LET’S PLAY! Play is not only a topic discussed by the course leaders in their lectures, in the projects of the six photographers, and in the essays of the theorists, but it also means a future opportunity presented to readers by this special form of publication.

The photo series displayed in the exhibition space and on the pages of CAPAZINE were developed in the framework of a workshop spanning more than six months. The publication is going to be presented by the workshop’s invited lecturers (artist Gábor Gerhes and cultural anthropologist Judit Csatlós) and the project leaders (curator Judit Gellér and curator Emese Mucsi) on the exhibition opening.

Let’s play!
