Location: Neatby-Timlin Theatre (Arts 241), University of Saskatchewan

From award-winning director Jamie Kastner and executive producer Mark Anthony Jacobson comes There Are No Fakes, a journey into the largest art fraud scam in Canadian history. The Norval Morrisseau fakes are a highly complex cultural issue tied not only to forgeries and finance, but to appropriation, virtue signalling and the more intricate structures articulated through the active revaluing of Indigenous art and culture – including its multiple motivations.

This screening is part of the supplemental programming for the Diefenbaker Canada Centre exhibition, Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today, that has been on display since June 26 and will run until Oct. 25, 2019. The University Collection has two Norval Morrisseau works currently located in the Wiyasiwewin Mikiwahp Native Law Centre.
