She has had a variety of teaching opportunities in Canada.  She has taught several original projects at the Marigold Guild’s annual retreat\, and has taught several in-house workshops there.

Our meetings have moved to virtual format until we can meet in person once again. \nFrom its beginning\, the Toronto guild has been a chapter guild of the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada / l’Association canadienne de broderie (EAC).   EAC is a national organization that focusses to preserve traditional embroidery techniques and to promote new challenges in the art of needlework.

SUMMARY:The Salon Series VIII
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the impact of 18th century issues today and beyond. \nWe are so excited to announce our next Salon Series guest ~ Dr. Charmaine A. 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.

Nelson has made ground-breaking contributions to the fields of the Visual Culture of Slavery\, Race and Representation\, and Black Canadian Studies.
