Mia Nakano
Mia Nakano is a founding artist behind the Visibility Project, a portrait and film based project focused on Queer Asian Americans who have at some point identified as female in some way. She is also the Co-Director & Digital Manager at one of the largest photographic community spaces in the country, RayKo Photo Center. As a freelancer Nakano contributes to a multitude of organizations, movements, and people to make social justice such as Hyphen Magazine, Colorlines, the Applied Research Center, and Freethehikers.org. She takes lead on projects as a photographer, instructor, project manager, photo-editor, web designer, marketing co-coordinator, or administrative powerhouse. When she’s not cranking out her latest project, you can find her in the kitchen, darkroom, building a terrarium out of found objects, or scouring the city for the best cheese.
