"Re-imaginig the enslaved. Eighteenth-century freedom seekers as twenty-first century sitters [by] Charmaine A. Nelson"--T.p. verso (one side).

This volume contains artwork by Camille Turner and Camal Pirbhai, some of which was included in the exhibition Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood, held at the Art Gallery of Ontario from June 29 to December 10, 2017.

Essay by Charmaine A. Nelson appeared in the catalogue "Every.Now.Then", published by the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2017 .

Printed in two partitions, back-to-back and inverted.

"In this captivating collection of photographs, Camille Turner and Camal Pirbhai draw attention to 18th-century fugitive slave ads from Canada’s colonial archives. Juxtaposing reproductions of actual advertisements with contemporary photographs that reinterpret the details of the clothing worn by the freedom seekers as high-fashion, Turner and Pirbhai provoke a conversation about Canada’s often unacknowledged role in the transatlantic slave trade."--Publisher.
