One of Canada's largest art shows putting focus on Indigenous artists

This year's Art Toronto, one of Canada's largest art shows, is placing a special focus on Indigenous art.

Sixty-five exhibits of contemporary art, 10 per cent of which are exclusively Indigenous, are being showcased at Art Toronto this weekend.

Maria Hupfield, an Anishinaabe artist who teaches her craft at the University of Toronto, has a pair of moving installations in the show.

"I think of it as kind of an approach toward art that's more de-colonial and less segmented in this colonial way where it has to be a painting on the wall," she told CTV National News.

"I'm very material-based, so typically I work with industrial felt and I mash things up and create sculptures that I then wear in live performances."
