Lovell’s work reflects a dual education: a formal curriculum that ignored Black histories and an informal, family‑driven re‑education that celebrated heritage through making. Stitching and cloth—skills nurtured by her mothers and aunts—became her chosen language. In her practice, she explores the narrative potential of clothing, drawing inspiration from the aesthetic, technical, and cultural significance of traditional textiles across the African Diaspora.Since 2009, Lovell has been stitching a constellation of war‑shirts that honour Black women who, often at terrible personal risk, resisted enslavement and colonial rule. The project, Warrior Women of the African Diaspora was sparked in Ghana when Lovell encountered a statue of Asante queen Yaa Asantewaa, clad in a talisman‑studded battle garment traditionally reserved for men. Confronted with the erasure of female freedom‑fighters in public memory, Lovell resolved to translate their stories—materially and symbolically—into protective cloth.For her residency with BAND, Lovell will focus on Marie-Joseph Angélique as the newest addition to this on-going series. Drawing on processes and materials specific to Angélique’s narrative, Lovell will imbue every fibre of the final warshirt with material evidence of her defiancePresented with support of Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/in-dialogue-precious-lovell/100001997449627606 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Entertainment, Music, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: 401 Richmond St W suite 128 - **lat**: 43.6476322 - **long**: -79.3950698 - **full address**: 401 Richmond St W suite 128, 401 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In Dialogue: Precious Lovell - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/579d346d1ecd326a04266f92d4cb88bd612f490331df754b20ba93b62fb56f46-rimg-w1200-h675-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786978392 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In Dialogue: Precious Lovell being held? - **A:** In Dialogue: Precious Lovell takes place on Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm at 401 Richmond St W suite 128, 401 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing In Dialogue: Precious Lovell? - **A:** In Dialogue: Precious Lovell is organized by BAND Gallery and Cultural Centre. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
