Flurina Rothenberger (1977) is a Swiss photographer and cultural producer raised in Zuénoula, Côte d’Ivoire, and based in Zurich and Abidjan. She has spent most of her career working in regions across the African continent, developing cross-cultural projects. Her photographs focus on the expanding urban landscape, often set in some of the world's fastest-growing economies, and the people who move within it. They paint a picture of a continent in rapid change, influenced by globalisation, yet maintaining a strong and varied cultural heritage.

Rothenberger's work draws on photography, design and writing, combining a research-based approach with highly collaborative projects, including workshops, publications, and virtual installations. She co-founded NICE Labs, a publishing project and space for knowledge exchange and mutual learning. For each new issue, young creatives from various fields come together in an African city to form an editorial and learning collective. They discuss topics, perspectives, and experiences, and, guided by mentors, translate their ideas into words and visuals, cultivating the publication process a collaborative effort.

As a freelance project developer and manager for cultural institutions such as artlink, Rothenberger has designed and coordinated transdisciplinary grant programs, workshops, and networking platforms between the Global North and South, enabling actors in the fields of art and culture to showcase their creative practice, share skills, and connect.

Her motivation lies in addressing existing economic and social disparities among nations and cultures. She is particularly interested in critically exploring digital technology—its risks and benefits—to tackle inequality and further meaningful collaborations within diverse cultural, social, ecological, and technological contexts around the world.

Rothenberger’s third book with Edition Patrick Frey, released in 2023, is a tribute to the life's work of the Ivorian-Burkinabé fashion designer and cultural activist Pathé'O. Flurina holds a degree in Visual Communication from the University of the Arts Zurich and regularly lectures at the Faculty of Advanced Studies in Photography in Vevey (CEPV), Switzerland. Her work has been exhibited and awarded, including the Swiss Design Award.
