From high fashion to everyday clothes, this book looks at the personal and political importance of Black style from the 1880s to the present.Both during and after slavery in North America, “Sunday best” referred to clothes reserved for church or special occasions. Dressing in one’s Sunday best conveyed a sense of dignity and self-worth. Sunday best styling evolved after emancipation into the twentieth century, reflecting subsequent periods of Black cultural liberation, empowerment, and upward mobility. It is emblematic of the ways that self-fashioning in African-diasporic communities affirms humanity and communicates identity.With examples from Canada, the Caribbean, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Sunday Best features archival and contemporary fashion alongside photography, painting, sculpture, and time-based media, looking at the significance of Black style. Essays by an interdisciplinary group of curators, designers, and scholars consider how communities throughout the African diaspora have used style as a reminder of one’s value, visibility, and agency, and the enduring influence of Sunday best dressing on artistic expression.This richly illustrated volume is organized around the following themes:• Origins, featuring fashion design by Christopher John Rogers and photography by James Van Der Zee• Black church, with art by Coreen Simpson, Gordon Parks, and Laura Wheeler Waring• Migration, through designers such as Foday Dumbuya• Liberation, with fashion design by Spencer Badu and photography by Chantal Regnault• Call and response, including fashion design by Patrick Kelly and photography by Melodie McDanielPublished in association with the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Philadelphia Museum of ArtExhibition ScheduleArt Gallery of Ontario(October 6, 2026–February 28, 2027)Philadelphia Museum of Art(April 17, 2027–August 8, 2027)

New ways of understanding Caribbean visual culture, from historical photographs following emancipation to contemporary transnational perspectives, on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, CanadaPublished with Art Gallery of Ontario.Anchored by an extensive selection from the world-class Montgomery Collection of Caribbean Photographs at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Fragments of Epic Memory situates a range of prints, postcards, daguerreotypes and albums from the period just after emancipation in 1838 within a broader context of visual culture in the Caribbean.This critical volume includes works by Caribbean artists such as Wifredo Lam from Cuba, and Sir Frank Bowling and Aubrey Williams from Guyana—who represent the first generation of migrant modernist artists—alongside 21st-century artists such as Paul Anthony Smith from Jamaica (based in the US), Zak Ové from Britain (of Trinidadian heritage), Nadia Huggins from Trinidad (based in St. Vincent) and Sandra Brewster from Canada (of Guyanese heritage), among others. Their works, along with texts by prominent writers of Caribbean descent, serve as counterpoints to the historical photographs and the violence of the imperial project, constituting a conceptual generational bridge across history, geography, time and space.
