Swiss graphic designer Léo Stefanelli, an alumnus of Geneva’s School of Applied Arts, presents his work at the Kugler space.

Drawing inspiration from the 1950s Swiss style, he incorporates organic and expressive visual elements. His photography captures a humanistic approach, revealing the unseen pain of individuals with chronic illnesses. There will also be workshops for children from age five, where they will create collective posters to be displayed in an exhibition.
