Safia Farhat (born Safia Foudhaili) was an artist, educator, and political activist. In 1956, she founded Faïza, Tunisia’s first magazine dedicated to women’s issues, and in 1966 was appointed the Republican era’s first director of the Tunis Institute of Fine Arts. Throughout her artistic career, Farhat keenly advocated for the preservation of North African cultural heritage, and in her own work often experimented with ceramics, stained glass, and woven tapestry.
