Press Release
Karma International presents two concurrent exhibitions: LISL by Elisabeth Wild and Snake Nights by Vivian Suter. The presentation brings into focus the intertwined yet distinct practices of mother and daughter, shaped by displacement, migration, and sustained artistic dedication across decades and continents.
