Picture Day is a collaborative visual exhibition by Saskatchewan settler artists Devin West and Kirk Kitzul.

Bullshat into insistence via a Costco order of printables, collated are liminal portraits staged in collaboration
across and within locations between Cree, Dene, Dakota, and Métis, to the Dish with One Spoon.
Grazing, smoking, and shooting number two in squared edges, sometimes left sanded round.
Posed and catalogued. Superintended smile developing stages of layers of tightrope shame.
Baker’s dozen prairie cousin heard the firefly more than whisper.
Wear mask, see mask, be masc.
A bone basket held tearfully, overflown by kin.
Plant a wasp tree and get apples.
Picture Day this Friday!
