Biography

Franca Donda (3 September 1933-3 September 2017) was an Italian photographer and filmmaker. Residing in Venezuela, and working as a photographer, laboratorian and videographer, Donda made an important part of the photographic and audiovisual record of the history of 20th century feminism in the country along with the Uruguayan photographer Gladys Parentelli.

Donda was co-founder of the feminist group Miércoles, which lasted from 1978 to 1989. She has been described as one of the best black and white laboratorians in Venezuela in the 1970s. She was awarded the Josefa Camejo Order by the Center for Women's Studies of the Central University of Venezuela, although Franca declined the honor.
