28 days is a creative memoir that brings together the sharp, poetic voice of Janet Charman with the evocative, observational sketches of artist Elizabeth Anderson. In 28 pairings of image and text, the book moves through a cycle of emotional, social, and sexual reflections, snapshots of life in Aotearoa that are both personal and powerfully resonant.
The collaboration began during the Canal Road Arboretum protest in Avondale, where the two artists first met. The resulting work captures the quiet intimacy of everyday moments, conversations in cafés, internal monologues, and fleeting encounters, with depth, wit, and feeling.
Charman’s text draws on the feminist legacy of A Room of One’s Own, while Anderson’s artwork follows in the traditions of Japanese ukiyo-e and Parisian café scenes, together forming a rich portrait of contemporary life.
