Join acclaimed sculptor and former designer Nicole Farhi and celebrated lawyer Anthony Julius for a powerful discussion on J’Accuse…! Sculptures by Nicole Farhi at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.
Featuring 25 hand-sculpted ceramic busts, the exhibition portrays individuals from around the world who have suffered miscarriages of justice over the past 125 years—cases that have shaped legal history. Inspired by Émile Zola’s famous 1898 letter exposing the wrongful conviction of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, Farhi’s work invites visitors to reflect on the human cost of injustice.
Anthony Julius is a distinguished lawyer, academic, and author known for his work on cases of historical and cultural significance. He is best known for representing Deborah Lipstadt in her landmark legal battle against Holocaust denier David Irving, a case that reinforced the importance of truth in historical scholarship.
Please be aware that this talk will discuss cases of miscarriages of justice, including wrongful convictions and legal failings which have had huge impacts on people’s lives. Some of the cases referred to the exhibition involve accounts of abuse. Attendees may find the subject matter distressing.
