Silvia Rosi is a Togolese-Italian artist based in London and Lomé. She uses the photographic medium and moving images combined with text fragments to explore the space of memory and of (self)representation. Her self-portraits and staged photography are deeply rooted in the tradition of West African studio portraiture, blending autobiography with broader historical and social narratives. 

Her work has been exhibited at LACMA (2024); Brooklyn Museum (2024); Fondation Zinsou (2024); Collezione Maramotti (2024); MAXXI (2022); Dak’Art Biennale (2022) Autograph ABP (2021) The National Portrait Gallery, (2020) and Jerwood Arts (2020). She has held residencies at Carraig-na-gCat Josef & Anni Albers Foundation (2023), Hangar Centro de Investigaçāo Artística (2023), and Thread Josef & Anni Albers Foundation (2019).
