Brazil is home to the largest Nikkei diaspora in the world — sharing similarities with other Japanese diasporas, with key differences. In the essay film “Where the Waves Break”, the Japanese Brazilian documentary filmmaker Inara Chayamiti investigates her fragmented identity by gluing together pieces of her family’s story and the Japanese Brazilian saga, marked by two diasporas between opposite sides of the world: Brazil and Japan. A virtual panel will take place directly after the film featuring two Japanese Latin American artists and academics in conversation, Dr. Monica Okamoto and Harumi Lopéz-Higa.
