Nevada Humanities, in partnership with the Nevada Museum of Art and the Reno chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), presents a special screening of Tadashi Nakamura’s film Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement—a 55-minute documentary that chronicles the life of Los Angeles-born artist, dancer, singer, author, and activist Nobuko Miyamoto, who was sent to the Santa Anita temporary detention center when she was only two years old.

This program is part of Nevada Humanities’ annual Day of Remembrance programming in recognition of the 84th anniversary of Japanese American incarceration during World War II. The screening will take place on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 6:00 pm at the Nevada Museum of Art located at 160 West Liberty Street, Reno, NV 89501. Following the screening, all attendees are invited to gather in the museum’s atrium for tea and conversation. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

“Nevada Humanities is honored to partner with the Nevada Museum of Art and the Reno chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League to continue our annual program in remembrance of Japanese American incarceration in World War II and this moment in our nation’s history,” said Christina Barr, executive director of Nevada Humanities. “We are also grateful for the Japanese American National Museum’s support of this special film screening featuring Nobuko Miyamoto’s inspiring story. The Day of Remembrance is an opportunity for us to come together to remember, share, and learn, and it is critical that we continue to amplify and preserve the stories and lessons of World War II so that such injustices never happen again.”
