Silvia Rosi (b. 1992) is an Togolese-Italian visual artist based in Lomé. Her work explores identity, memory, migration, and the African diaspora through staged photography, self-portraiture, and moving image, often integrating text and archival materials.  Drawing on West African studio portraiture and family vernacular photographs, Rosi reconstructs personal and collective histories to examine narratives of belonging, colonial legacies, and the politics of representation. Her images frequently blur the line between documentary and fiction, using performance, and props to interrogate how photography shapes memory and identity. 

Rosi’s work has been exhibited and is held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York; C/O Berlin; Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Autograph ABP, London.
