Anastacia Mala (b.2002 KL, Malaysia) is a photographer based in Milan/Paris. 
Anastacia attended a BFA in photography and visual arts at IED, Milano where she began to combine traditional photography with digital techniques such as computer bending and coding to deepen the conceptual level of her work.
In her personal projects, she explores themes such as identity and cultural belonging, and her work often highlights the intersection of her two cultural backgrounds through the integration of elements that are both political and aesthetic.
In her commercial work, she places great emphasis on including Asian elements in her fashion and fine arts photography, as a way of highlighting Asian perspectives in a predominantly white industry.
In addition to her photographic work, Anastacia engages in curatorial and research-based initiatives, where she creates both physical and digital spaces for Southeast Asian creatives in Europe. Her work highlights the lack of representation of Southeast Asian photographers in white-dominated cultural spheres, particularly in Europe. By collecting and producing images that resonate with the Asian diaspora, she seeks to foster a sense of belonging and comfort for people navigating these shared experiences.

Mala has been part of several group exhibitions in Oslo such as "mellom rom" at Henie Onstad and "Take it off" at Kunsthall Oslo. In 2024 she participated in her first group exhibition in Milan "Recollections in Tranquillity" at Linke gallery. 
In addition to being exhibited in Europe, she participated in her first group exhibition in Asia in March 2025, titled PhotOpsia, Flickering Objects at 100 Tonson Foundation.
