On this week’s episode of Roots and Hoots, we are joined by Adrian Stimson. Adrian is an interdisciplinary artist from the Siksika Nation in southern Alberta. In this interview, Adrian shares stories of his lifelong connection to art, and the opportunities that have come his way because of it - including one of his latest projects as host of the six-part CBC podcast series Forged, which looks at the life of legendary Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau, and how criminal fraudsters copied his work, in what is believed to be the largest art fraud in the world.
