Shasha Dothan (b. 1987, Tel Aviv) is a Brooklyn-based artist. In her artistic practice, she incorporates video, painting, drawing, and installation-based works. Her immersive works connect fragments of personal history, creating intimate environments that reflect on identity, memory, and belonging. She has exhibited widely—both domestically and internationally—paying careful attention to each new discursive context.

Through her work, she attempts to navigate difficult conversations within contemporary political discourses. Her works are always deeply personal and inspired by her environment: whatever surrounds her is inevitably absorbed into her practice. She collects images and plays with potential connections between them—placing one next to the other to allow the meaning to emerge.

Each new artwork she makes begins with dozens, sometimes hundreds of drawings. Through this foundational drawing practice, she generates images that become both the visual language and conceptual keys to her installations. The drawings are letters in a language she creates; surrounded by them, she feels both dangerous and in danger.

Her work has been exhibited at the Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art (Ramat Gan), Petach Tikva Museum of Art (Petah Tikva), Blum & Poe (Los Angeles), Human Resources (Los Angeles), Erica Broussard Gallery (Santa Ana), American Jewish University (Los Angeles), Jerusalem Cultural Season (Jerusalem), University at Buffalo Art Galleries (Buffalo), Ashdod Museum of Art (Ashdod), and MCLA Gallery 51 (Massachusetts), among others. Dothan is also a founding member of the art collective Anti Mehikon.

Dothan received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles (2018) and a BFA from Shenkar College (2013). Her work has been recognized with numerous awards and scholarships, including the John Baldessari Family Foundation Scholarship (2017–18), the Young Artist Award from the Israeli Ministry of Culture (2018, 2020), the WORD Prize from American Jewish University, and grants from Asylum Arts, the Philip & Muriel Berman Foundation, and the Adams Family Foundation.

As a recipient of the Artis Residency Grant for Vermont Studio Center and the NARS Foundation she has additionally participated in residencies at Field Residency Chelsea, MASS MoCA, Byrdcliffe and was a Residential Fellow at the Lunder Institute for American Art at the Colby Museum in 2022. She was an artist-in-residence at the Peleh Family Residency in Berkeley, California 2025.
