Franziska Greber is a Swiss artist raised in a cross-cultural family. Her work connects art, society, politics, and science, addressing societal and political tensions and themes such as exclusion and participation, marginalization and cohesion, silence and speech, as well as resignation and resistance.

In 2016, she initiated WOMEN IN THE DARK, an international, participatory, and transdisciplinary art project addressing discrimination and violence. The project has since become a long-running independent initiative with its own website.

The project was awarded the German art prize The Power of the Arts in 2023. “[…] It takes a stand against turning a blind eye and remaining silent, impressing the jury not only with its relevance but also with its outstanding artistic quality. […]”

Since 2024, WOMEN IN THE DARK has also been the focus of artistic research. „Combining art and science […] fulfills a long-standing goal […],“ says Dr. Müge Süer of the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH).

The art of giving voice – a conversation between Laura Santini and Franziska Greber. In M. Porciello, G. G. Borghi & E. Errico (Eds.), La conoscenza negata: Marginalità e oppressione epistemica nelle Americhe (pp. 303–323). The contribution examines epistemic oppression within the context of Greber’s artistic practice. It outlines the development of her key themes and methods, together with the conceptual and theoretical frameworks that underpin her work. The artworks discussed in the conversation are accessible via integrated QR codes.

Franziska Greber’s works have been exhibited internationally, including in China, Germany, India, Italy, Mauritius und Switzerland.
