Nelson. \nBlack Body Politics and Self-Care: Slave Dress as Resistance in Caribbean and Canadian Slavery \nIn the early nineteenth century\, John Colthurst\, an Anglo-Irish special magistrate in St. Vincent\, described the public humiliation of an enslaved black woman named Dutchess in his journal. Ordered to report to the local courthouse for the alleged crime of stealing money\, Dutchess was ridiculed for the nature of the fine “wearing apparel” which she had purchased including “two pairs of pink satin shoes”\, clothing which the local whites deemed to be incongruous with her racial\, sex\, and gender identity. \nPlease join us as Dr. Charmaine Nelson explores slave dress\, cultural preservation and self-determination in Canada and British Caribbean islands like Jamaica and St. Vincent. Recuperating the histories of three enslaved black women named Dutchess\, Florimell\, and Cash\, and one enslaved black man named Andrew\, Nelson will look at how they acquired the means and materials to adorn\, protect and beautify their bodies in the midst of endemic material deprivation\, cultural prohibitions\, economic disenfranchisement and pervasive physical violence. Drawing upon Rebecca Earle’s concept of “clothing acts\,” the lecture will examine genre studies\, portraiture\, and fugitive slave advertisements to explore the spaces between the imposition of cloth rations in tropical planation regimes like Jamaica\, the use of European second-hand clothing in Canada and the preservation of African cultural dress practices like headwrapping across the Americas. \nAgostino Brunias\, Linen Market\, Dominica (1780)\, oil on canvas\, 49.8 x 68.6 cm.\, B1981.25.76\, Paul Mellon Collection\, Yale Center for British Art\, New Haven.\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER \nDr. Charmaine A.

For centuries\, clothing has been a wearable status symbol; fashion\, a weapon in struggles for social change; and dress codes\, a way to maintain political control. Even in today’s more informal world\, dress codes still determine what we wear\, when we wear it—and what our clothing means. Join us on March 24 at 7 pm EST as we welcome Law Professor and Author Richard Thompson Ford for an insightful and fascinating discussion on the history of the laws of fashion from the 18th century to today. \nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER \n \nRichard Thompson Ford is a Professor at Stanford Law School. He has written about law\, social and cultural issues and race relations for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, San Francisco Chronicle\, and Slate\, and has appeared on The Colbert Report and The Rachel Maddow Show. He is the author of the New York Times notable books The Race Card and Rights Gone Wrong: How Law Corrupts the Struggle for Equality. He lives in San Francisco. \nRegister Now URL:https://batashoemuseum.ca/event/the-salon-series-vii/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://batashoemuseum.ca/wp-content/uploads/TSS7_Event-100.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20210320T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210320T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160157 CREATED:20210220T005659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210320T153827Z UID:7336-1616234400-1616241600@batashoemuseum.ca SUMMARY:The Art of Drawing DESCRIPTION:Cost: $20/per person\nFriends of the BSM: $15/per person \nIn this drawing workshop\, participants will first learn how to draw “lines”; they will learn what a line is\, how to create it using a variety of tools (pencil\, ink on paper) and also how to manipulate the quality of the lines.

Scholars of this period continue to explore how “exotic” goods came to be appropriated into British society and moved from luxury status to everyday items. In this talk\, Kinsey will focus on diamonds and show how it wasn’t a simple case of a product associated with “the East” becoming Westernized but a more complicated dynamic where diamonds could be understood to be foreign\, exotic\, domestic\, modern\, traditional\, scientific\, romantic\, good and evil all at once. In other words\, the process of appropriation didn’t completely strip diamonds\, and many other goods from away\, of associations with exoticism or knowledge about where they came from and how they came to be in Britain. The worlds of colonialism and global capitalism were very much alive in what could be understood as British consumer culture in this time. \nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER \n \nDanielle Kinsey is an assistant professor in the department of history at Carleton University in Ottawa where she teaches courses on consumption and material culture\, British history\, global and imperial history\, and the history of the body. She is completing a book manuscript for McGill-Queen’s University Press about the diamond trade and the meaning of diamonds in Britain and empire in the long nineteenth century. \nRegister Now URL:https://batashoemuseum.ca/event/the-salon-series-vi/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://batashoemuseum.ca/wp-content/uploads/BSM_TSS6_Event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20210220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210220T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160157 CREATED:20210116T191422Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210220T145652Z UID:7251-1613815200-1613822400@batashoemuseum.ca SUMMARY:Flat Stitch: Embroidery Beadwork DESCRIPTION:Cost: $20/per person\nFriends of the BSM: $15/per person \nFacilitated by Métis designer Justine Woods\, this workshop will introduce participants to the historical and contemporary use of Indigenous beadwork in Canada.

While waists rose and stiff gowns gave way to soft cotton simplicity\, shoes also kicked off their heels to usher in the flat sole with the turn of the nineteenth century. This talk explores the world of footwear in the extraordinary transitional period between 1790-1820\, and how new ideas were expressed through fashionable feet. \nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER \nHilary Davidson trained as a bespoke shoemaker before becoming a dress historian and curator\, and is now based between Sydney and London. She was curator of fashion and decorative arts at the Museum of London between 2007-2012 and has lectured and taught extensively across fashion history and theory\, archaeology and curation. Her MA History of Textiles and Dress thesis was on the cultural power of red shoes and developed into work on magical footwear\, including for the V&A exhibition catalogue of Shoes: Pleasure and Pain (2015). Hilary is an honorary associate at the University of Sydney\, on the editorial board of Fashion Studies\, and in 2019 published Dress in the Age of Jane Austen (Yale University Press). \nRegister Now URL:https://batashoemuseum.ca/event/the-salon-series-v/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://batashoemuseum.ca/wp-content/uploads/BSM_TSS5_Event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20210116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210116T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160157 CREATED:20201130T143945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210116T191406Z UID:7150-1610791200-1610805600@batashoemuseum.ca SUMMARY:Uplifted: Art of Crochet Shoes DESCRIPTION:Cost: $20/person\nFriends of the BSM: $15/person \nLearn how to crochet for the first time or refresh your skills\, while discovering innovative ways to create.
