私が勤務するラガーディアコミュニティーカレッジでは、2026年12月4日 (金)に、ドキュメンタリー映画「HAFU」を制作した西倉めぐみさんを招き、映画の上映会と西倉さんとの談話を開催します。
「HAFU」が取り上げる日本人のアイデンティディーや、日本人とは何かという問いは、多人種の日本人だけでなく、日系アメリカ人の子女にも関わるテーマです。学校関係者以外の方も参加でき、参加費は無料です。参加登録はこちら(https://t-nagano.link/lg-EventReg)まで。
The Japan Studies Program at LaGuardia Community College is pleased to host a film screening of Hafu: The Mixed-Race Experience in Japan (https://film.twn.org/products/hafu-the-mixed-race-experience-in-japan) along with discussion with Megumi Nishikura, the director of this documentary film. This event would explore how people with multiple cultural, national, and familial ties understand who they are and where they belong. Through HAFU, Megumi Nishikura brings these questions to life through the personal stories of mixed-race individuals in Japan who navigate the experience of being seen as culturally or ethnically mixed. Megumi’s broader filmmaking and current project on the dual citizenship extend this exploration from cultural identity to the legal and political structures that determine who is recognized as a citizen. See https://www.nippon.com/en/people/e00052/ for the review of HAFU and Megumi Nishikura’s bio.
