Surrounded by a background of dark grey-blue, the main image is a photo Kay Kassirer. Kay is young and white, crouched relaxedly atop a cement ledge, with a chain fence behind. They are wearing an oversized faded jean jacket, daisy-print pants, a black hoodie, a purple knit cap, and dark rimmed glasses. Kay’s head is turned towards us, their red curly hair peeking out from under the cap, with an open, friendly smile.

This is a poster advertising the online cybor-world experience created by Salima Punjani titled “PROGRESSION”. The top graphic is a screen shot from the digital world of the entry portal, a beige-walled ‘waiting room’ with hanging planters and pastel floor pillows. Out the entranceway we glimpse the lower image: a space night-scape with ethereal ropes of glowing purple and azure. Two caves on the horizon sport white text: “What reminds you of who you are?” and “How do you want to be seen?”. In the centre, next to the artist’s name and below the show title we read: “ONLINE EXPERIENCE OPENING JUNE 7 AT AANM.CA/ONLINE-EXHIBITIONS.” The logos for AANM and the Province of Manitoba appear along the side. Along the bottom, it reads “this project was made possible with support from Ada X and the Canada Council for the Arts.”
