Franziska Greber is a Swiss artist raised in a multicultural family. Her artistic practice connects art with societal and political tensions, exploring themes such as exclusion and participation, marginalization and cohesion, silence and speech, as well as resignation and resistance. Her work spans installation, video, photography, text, audio, and performance.

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.

In 2023, WOMEN IN THE DARK received the German art award The Power of the Arts, initiated by Philip Morris GmbH. “[…] 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 […]”, says the jury.

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). Published in 2025.
The Università di Genova states: “The academic and the art world are compared and contrasted in this conversation while discussing concept like agency, voice, being silenced, testimonial oppression and how artist work can enable people to recover the chance to speak up for themselves or to move away from marginalisation and discriminatory experiences.”

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