ABOUT HER

Franziska Greber is a Swiss artist and psychotherapist

For the past four decades, she has been devoting herself to studies and projects related to domestic and other forms of violence, gender equality and legal issues. She worked as a psychotherapist mainly with survivors of violence, was Co-Head of the Intervention Unit against Domestic Violence at the Directorate of Justice and Home Affairs, Canton of Zürich, counseled many organizations at home and abroad, taught at universities and colleges and wrote numerous articles in academic journals and books.

In 2016 she focused on women’s rights and initiated the global, non-profit, transdisciplinary and participatory art project WOMEN IN THE DARK, in which she linked art and societal issues.
