Saskia Kahn (b. New York, NY) is a photographer and educator interested in the impact our physical surroundings have on identity. She creates street portraits and works with experimental photographic printmaking. NYC Parks exhibited her portraits as an outdoor installation of seawater-damaged portraits, anticipating future climate disasters. In 2025, she was awarded a Rubys Artist Grant to support “I can smell the water,” a photobook project influenced by her family’s history of displacement from the Baltic Sea to the shores of Brooklyn. Her photography project “Skatepark Baltimore” was awarded Best Photography Thesis in the 2022 Global Design Graduate Show. She has led free photography workshops in Baltimore, MD; Hudson, NY; and Yaoundé, Cameroon, using collaborative tools like photovoice to invite participation from the people she photographs. Her photographs have appeared in The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, and BmoreArt. Kahn lives in Baltimore, MD, and teaches photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
