Frida Kahlo and My Left Leg
Emily Rapp Black
At first sight of Frida Kahlo’s famous painting The Two Fridas, Emily Rapp Black felt an instant connection with the artist.
Like Kahlo, Rapp Black is an amputee who grew up with a succession of prosthetic limbs and learned to hide her disability from the world. Like Kahlo, Rapp Black has lived in a world where non-normative bodies are either not discussed, or are fetishized. In this hugely personal and exhilarating new book, Rapp Black draws on the art, letters and diaries of Kahlo in order to make sense of her own life and body.
What Time Is It? John Berger & Selcuk Demirel
A profound and playful meditation on the illusory nature of time. Illustrated throughout in full colour by Turkish artist Selcuk Demirel in his inventive style and introduced by Berger’s friend Maria Nadotti.
Essays on the Self by Virginia Woolf
Introduced by Joanna Kavenna
In these thirteen essays, Woolf celebrates the urgency of the present; and explores the nature of the finite self (‘Who am I?’ ‘Who is everybody else’?) and how individual experience might be relayed.
