Karshan

This scrapbook is a comprehensive record of the making of Linda Karshan’s historical walked drawing masterpiece, Two Feet Walking, which she enacted on Friday, 8 April 2022, at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, in collaboration with poet/filmmaker Ishmael Annobil. Created for The Women’s Art Collection, Two Feet Walking is a tour de force of Karshan’s groundbreaking genre, featuring strategic intermissions for sartorial adornment, in response to symbolic areas of Murray Edwards’ iconic, brutalist architecture.

This unique book boasts remarkable photo essays and expressive behind-the-scenes photography, captivating critique and analyses by such luminaries as The Late Jill Silverman van Coenegrachts and Colin Gleadell; alluring jottings; and an overarching essay, establishing the history and definition of Karshan’s revolutionary genre. It is notable for the lyrical photography of Ghanaian Photographer Nana Yaa Annobil.
