A Nomad Among Nomads

By Andrew Finkel


Extract


Josephine Powell wasn’t like other people. She did things most of us wouldn’t do, went to places most of us will never visit, and saw things most of us would overlook.

These attributes, along with a profound respect for nomadic peoples acquired during her work with the UN’s International Refugee organisation after the war, influenced her to become one of the great ethnographic photographers of Anatolia and the Near East.

See Cornucopia 30 for an earlier feature on Josephine Powell and her kilim collection.
