Bianca Nozaki-Nasser  (b.1992) is a Japanese-Lebanese-Syrian multidisciplinary artist.
 
Bianca’s work is rooted in social practice and has spanned across immersive audio video installations, speculative objects, and community engagement programs. She combines elements of futurism, archival materials, and historical narratives to to understand, critique, and reimagine what is possible. She invites collective wrecking and reckoning, exploring the tension between building new worlds and redecorating old ones. 

Bianca holds a Masters degree in Media Design Practice from the Art Center College of Design. They have exhibited their work across the United States and participated in several artist residencies including the Level Ground Residency Program in Los Angeles and Activation in New York. Through their social practice they have also co-founded and are a member of numerous artist and worker-led collectives, each with liberatory missions and values. 

Over the last decade, Bianca has worked 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.  Additionally, she spent five years as the Creative Director at 18 Million Rising building a visual identity that established the organization as a digital leader in progressive Asian American organizing. Previously, she co-founded a mobile-first platform for patient-generated health data management.

Bianca currently resides in Los Angeles and is the Director of Storytelling at Emergent Fund, a rapid response resource fund that supports emergent organizing led by frontline Black, Indigenous, and people of color. In addition to her creative work, Bianca is also an assistant professor and teaches interdisciplinary studios and intensives on design, futurism, and political education.
