Christine Walde
Christine Walde is a writer, artist, and librarian whose work combines library and archival research with interests in experimental prose, poetry, visual poetry, performance, and the visual arts.

Walde's latest body of work, In a New Order, was recently featured in the Victoria Arts Council’s VAULT as part of concrete is porous, a group exhibition of visual poetry. In a New Order is a series of visual poems, including remixes and reinterpretations, of Joy Division's iconic 1980s anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

Her work has been published in print and online journals in Canada, the US, and the UK, including Carousel, CV2, The Fiddlehead, Lemonhound, The Malahat Review, Paratext, Plath Profiles, The Rusty Toque, and Vallum. In 2011, Baseline Press published her chapbook, The Black Car, based on her research working with Sylvia Plath's archives. Another chapbook, Noise and Silence, was published as a digital edition by Poetry is Dead in 2013. In 2018, flask publishing produced Bride Machine, a limited edition artist multiple of 14 folios of poetry inspired by Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even. She has written two novels: The Candy Darlings, and Burning From the Inside, which was shortlisted for the 2014 ReLit Award.

Constitution (2016) was composed in the days following the election of Donald Trump to The White House. The work plays with the word ‘constitution’ as a double entendre that references both the supreme law of the United States and a person’s physical state, both of which have been inalterably impacted by Trump’s presidency. Using “We”, “The”, and “People” as a constraint for its composition, Constitution reimagines its’ sovereign authority as a document as a radical call for action against oppressive regimes and systems of government.

OUR STORY
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

The Embassy Cultural House gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program.

The Embassy Cultural House (ECH) is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Chonnonton peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum and other treaties, colonized as London, Ontario. The ECH strives to create meaningful relationships between the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and our contributors. The ECH honours the stewardship of the many Indigenous peoples who have resided on these lands since time immemorial.
