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. The logos for Under the Table, the Province of Manitoba, and AANM appear along the bottom.

This is a poster advertising the show of drawing/painting artist lita b. In the center of the poster are the show details, written in lilac font on a peach background: “body horror vignettes” lita b. opening June 3, 2022. 102-329 cumberland ave. Winnipeg, and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions/.” Below this text are the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts. The top half of the poster is occupied by a portion of one of lita b.’s paintings: the background is a pale peach, rose, and yellow sky, with chubby white clouds floating serenely. Contrasting with the serenity of the background is a figure, front and centre. The figure appears to be a doll-puppet, with light blue ‘flesh’ and visible sewing seams. The only facial features on the bald head are two eyes; a tear rolls down from each. From a defect in the skull, a family of spiders emerges and descends to the shoulder. The figure is wearing a plain teal corset and orange skirt. Ribbons from the top of the image are attached at the neck and wrists. In the bottom of the poster is a portion of another of their paintings: A yellow figure holds the small pink lifeless body of a baby faun, with three bloody arrows emerging from its torso.
