Artist, Strategist, Creative Director, & Educator.
A creative powerhouse, Bianca Nozaki-Nasser’s resume combines 10+ years of working across industries developing strategic storytelling, creative interventions, and community power for clients and collaborators like Sundance, UNICEF Innovation, Asian American Documentary Network, and The California Endowment.
Formerly the Creative Director at 18 Million Rising, Bianca spent over half a decade building technology and creative media to mobilize over 170,000 young Asian Americans around social justice issues. Previously, she co-founded a mobile-first platform for patient-generated health data management and developed a cultural trend forecasting tool while working as a cultural strategist for a global advertising agency, TBWA CHIAT DAY LA.
As a queer, Japanese-Lebanese-Syrian, her research and creative practice engages contested histories and critical geographies of power, memory, pain, and possibility. Bianca uses installation, audio, experimental film, graphics, textiles, and object-making to trace the intricacies of material culture, memory, and liberatory futures. She is currently an assistant professor at the ArtCenter of College and Design where she teaches interdisciplinary studios and intensives on design, futurism, and political education. Bianca has exhibited her work nationally and participated in several artist residencies including the Level Ground Residency Program in Los Angeles and Activation in New York.
Bianca completed her MFA in Media Design Practices at the ArtCenter College of Design in 2018, and her BA in Communication from The University of Southern California. Bianca is also a member of the Level Ground LA artist collective as well as a 200 HR certified yoga teacher.
