Nicole Farhi: Art as Resistance

Fashion icon turned sculptor Nicole Farhi speaks with The View Magazine about injustice, exile, and the power of art.

Nicole Farhi, once synonymous with British fashion, has transformed her creative voice into sculpture that confronts injustice head‑on. In this exclusive interview, she reflects on her bronze bust of Victor Hugo, her groundbreaking exhibition J’Accuse, and the urgent need to bear witness to miscarriages of justice. Farhi shares how imprisonment silences creativity, why art becomes a second sentence when denied, and how her upcoming series The Children of Gaza seeks to challenge selective memory in times of conflict. With candor and moral clarity, Farhi reveals how art can preserve dignity, transmit outrage, and spark compassion. This conversation is not about closure but about continuing resistance.
