Crimes of Fashion: Free Black Women in 18th Century Cape Town
0
jeudi 10 octobre 2024 • Durée 12:31
Imagine looking so good that it becomes illegal. Despite the excess of wealth, glamour and spectacle available to the settler elite in 18th century Cape Town, their biggest sartorial competition came from the 118 emancipated women of colour in the Dutch Cape Colony. In 1765, sumptuary laws were introduced, prohibiting these women from coloured silks, fine laces, adorned bonnets and even fake jewellery so that they could not visually appear equal to (or, more honestly, better than) their European counterparts. Khensani delves into the fashion policing of free women of colour in 18th century Cape Town.

vendredi 14 juin 2024 • Durée 58:16
Beauty can be a knife and beauty can be a shield. In this episode, we explore the history of embroidery from Palestine to South Africa and their shared threads in documenting and resisting apartheid, uncovering the role of needlecraft in fashioning identity and healing communities. Khensani is joined by Lina Barkawi, a practitioner of traditional Palestinian embroidery (tatreez) who uses this craft to connect with heritage and educate others; Dr. Puleng Segalo, a South African psychologist who helps Black women express their trauma through embroidery; and Iman Ganijee an advocate linking African and Middle Eastern textile practices to raise awareness and support for various causes from Congo to Sudan, South Africa and Palestine.
