Red Cadmium Light: Fake Indigenous Art Exposed

0:00It's April 7, from your city to your ears. This is Vancouver News today, powered by AI. Jew Hayden Taylor, that award-winning OG Boa Playwright and filmmaker from Curve Lake First Nation, just dropped a sharp new play called The Undeniable, Accusations of Red Cadmium Light at Vancouver's Fire Hall Art Center, this spring. It's all about the shady world of fake indigenous art, zeroing in on forgeries of legendary Anishinaabe Painter, Norville Morosso. The hook? This paint called Red Cadmium Light didn't even hit the market until 1982. So any Morosso piece dated before that, with the pigment screaming fake from the canvas. Picture this, Nazi runs a gallery on Otter Lake First Nation, dealing in Morosso and other big indigenous names. Her daughter Beverly's an educator on the cusp of a huge break. But a nosy reporter uncovers dirt on counterfeits that could tank their reps and rip their bond apart. Taylor's no rookie, he's got Dora Mavermore awards, Floyd S. Chalmers honors, two governor

1:03general nods, and three honorary doctorates under his. Belt, he's even his 38th book, Sucker Falls, coming this fall. This play hits hard on trust and indigenous art markets, urging us to question what's real before it's too late. Catch it if you're near Vancouver.
