The public lecture will draw on current research that examines the ways in which blacks, by the mid to late 19th century, in settlements throughout Southern Ontario, used photography as a critical and powerful tool for self-representation. I situate the Bell-Sloman Collection as a "fugitive archive," built with defiance and resistance, in order to preserve, salvage and recover the histories of black Canadian communities whose stories and material artefacts are often left untold of subject to erasure. The exhibition in the Visual Arts Exhibition Space will showcase some of the material presented in the lecture.
