Fatimah Hossaini has been chased down the street by men who have insulted her, threatened her and have sometimes managed to prevent her from continuing to do her job. The artist has focused her work on the search for the beauty of the women of Afghanistan, despite wars and patriarchal restrictions.

She now lives as a refugee in Paris after the return of the Taliban, who have created “a gender 'apartheid' that makes life impossible.” “Migration, identity and gender are the three most important themes of my work,” she describes.
