Printed at Community Arts Project (CAP).

CAP was founded as a response to the 1976 Youth Uprising, as well as to the need for accommodation and facilities to be used by all artists, many of whom lived in marginalised communities or in areas where facilities were minimal if any.

It played an important role in the development of Cape Town’s cultural life during apartheid. Like other community art centres, CAP was open to the public and provided artists with access to training and resources as well as helping to create a non-racial network of communication and exchange between artists during Apartheid. It was among the more politicised centres that emerged after 1976, such as The Federated Union of Black Artists (FUBA), Funda, and The Johannesburg Foundation all based in Johannesburg, Transvaal (now Gauteng). It helped shape the idea of culture as a form of resistance during the liberation struggle in the 1980s.
