Notes

Please join Critical Acts and Global Media Lab on Monday May 4, 2026 for a documentary film screening on the life of visionary artist-activist Nobuko Miyamoto who changed Asian America forever.

Directed by Tad Nakamura and Quyen Nguyen-Le, this documentary weaves together interviews, performances, and rare archival footage spanning over 70 years, on the life and artistry of Nobuko Miyamoto, a Japanese American multidisciplinary dancer, singer, performer, and community artist. From World War II incarceration to Hollywood screens to an emerging Asian American movement and bringing the arts into community, NOBUKO MIYAMOTO: A SONG IN MOVEMENT is a story of a changing community told through the singular life of one of its most beloved storytellers.

The artist Nobuko Miyamoto will be present for a post-screening Q&A moderated by Professor Mira Shimabukuro
