Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement

A two-year-old in internment camp grows up to find her light on stage, in song, on film, in the movement with other Asian American civil rights activists. Nobuko Miyamoto’s life blossomed in a time where immigrants and working-class people were in search of belonging in a changing America. Through her ceaseless labor in the arts, she not only found power in her practice but also joy and purpose in community.

A performance by Nobuko Miyamoto will follow the screening.
