About Us

Open Door-Contemporary Art Projects (OD-CAP) offers a novel approach to accessing art and culture information. Using a combination of different media, OD-CAP exists in a new virtual territory and takes the “best practices” in the complex world of art museums and exhibitions to “extend the white cube” making it possible for artists, scholars, and curators to interact with off and online communities.

OD-CAP is a specific content-oriented social-networking interactive collaborative site to change long held assumptions about audiences and their engagement with art. The OD-CAP website explores and develops the intersection between technology and community-building. At OD-CAP, visitors at all levels can discover new colleagues and collaborators through shared interests. Visitors can also adapt new media habits through the OD-CAP site exploring technology to make a difference in their personal visual literacy and the visual literacy of their communities.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

    • Mambu Badu’s Inaugural Magazine February 8, 2012
      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]


  • "Dedicated to the real photographers of the world—to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms, are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than anything else in the world." - William Mortensen
