Fantasy and Reality In Wash and Rogue - Beyond the Balloon: Belonging in Canada
The Caribbean and Nova Scotia were in ledgers: rum, sugar, fish, lumber. Later on they existed in safe harbour, as Halifax opened doors to those leaving chains. Africville holds the memory-- strength, music, Sunday finest-- alongside a demand to do much better. Barbadians in Canada entered that story and wrote brand-new chapters: Austin Clarke's novels, Cameron Bailey's curatorship, Anne Cools's bench-breaking firsts. The balloon in Washington Black indicates longing; the harbour points to work-- of building, welcoming, and keeping faith with freedom.
Enjoy the teaser and learn about Africville and the Underground Railroad.
