Donna Bassin
Donna Bassin, born in Brooklyn, NY 1950, is a fine arts photographer, filmmaker, and trauma psychologist now living in Montclair, New Jersey. She works on long-term projects responding to the injurious aspects of contemporary life: post-traumatic stress, racism, social injustice, and, most recently, the destruction of our environment. Donna Bassin looks to the power of photographic arts to assist in transforming grief over catastrophic losses into the power of witnessing and action rather than apathy and melancholia.
Her life work has resulted in two award-winning documentaries, two solo museum exhibitions, public art installations, book covers, and participation in many curated group shows. Tricycle, Foronostrum, Garzia Magazine, Lens Magazine, and LandEscape Art Review have published her photography and writing. Donna Bassin received the 2021 New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowship in Photography, the top 50 photographers for the Critical Mass 2022, and the top 200 photographers for the Critical Mass 2024.
