Anna Safiatou Touré (b. 1996) is a French-Malian multidisciplinary artist based in Brussels. She graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes Saint-Nazaire (2018) and from ENSAV La Cambre with a degree in Photography (2022). Her work explores the space that connects or separates the two sides of every migratory narrative. Since 2025, she has been part of the FUTURES Photography.
Born in Bamako, Anna Touré left Mali for France at an age too young to retain vivid memories of her homeland. This absence has fuelled her desire to understand migration, the relationship between two lands, two cultures, and those between the colonised and the colonisers, past and present. The path through this personal, historical, and cultural blend fills, for her, empty or unanswered spaces. On her own scale, she gives form to this absence by creating her own evidence to make story heard.
Her work has been shown in various group shows in Belgium and internationally, including at ISELP and Kanal – Centre Pompidou (Brussels), FOMU (Antwerp), Brakke Grond (Amsterdam), La Friche la Belle de Mai (Marseille), and the International Centre for the Image (Dublin).
