Silvia Rosi’s work explores her personal family history drawing on her Togolaise heritage, and the idea of origins. She works with self-portraiture, video and text to narrate her parent’s story of migration from Togo in West Africa to Italy. She will be in conversation with Emma Bowkett, Director of Photography at the Financial Times FT Weekend Magazine.
