Tearing away the shame that keeps the survivors silent NIRBHAYA is a voyage into a tapestry of personal testimonies that speaks for a nation and world no longer able to hold the tides of change at bay. Much like Farber’s previous award winning testimonial creations (AMAJUBA, WOMAN IN WAITING, HE
LEFT QUIETLY) NIRBHAYA bears witness to the extraordinary capacity of the human spirit for survival, redemption and change. An unforgettable work that will move, inspire and speak for the turning tide.devastate and inspire you with the sheer capacity of the human spirit to rise, to bare witness, to survive and turn the tide.
