Sold by Perimeter Books, Thornbury

The Italian-Togolese artist Silvia Rosi (*1992) explores post-colonial themes such as migration, identity and collective memory from a diasporic perspective in an interplay of staged photography, video, performative elements and edited archive material. In Protektorat (2022–2024), Rosi sheds light on the complex history of language under colonial occupation in Togo. Based on archive material from the Togolese National Archives in Lomé, she thematises the mechanisms of power and resistance that are anchored in colonial language policies. Administered as a German so-called protectorate from 1884
