NCA Welcomes Dr. Fuyubi Nakamura

• BACK

• We had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Fuyubi Nakamura (中村冬日), a distinguished sociocultural anthropologist, curator, and academic from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada to the National College of Arts, Lahore. During her visit, Dr. Nakamura met with Prof. Dr. Murtaza Jafri, Vice Chancellor, NCA; Prof. Sarwat Ali, Academic Advisor, NCA; Saamia Vine & Imran Ahmed, Associate Professors from Department of Fine Arts; and Humna Kazi to explore opportunities for academic and cultural collaboration.
  
  Originally from Tokyo, Japan, Dr. Nakamura received her DPhil in Anthropology from the University of Oxford in 2006. She currently serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies and Curator, Asia, at the Museum of Anthropology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Prior to joining UBC in 2014, she taught at the Australian National University and the University of Tokyo, while also curating exhibitions internationally.
  
  Dr. Nakamura's scholarly and curatorial work bridges art, anthropology, cultural heritage, and memory studies. Her notable exhibitions include Traces of Words: Art and Calligraphy from Asia (2017), A Future for Memory: Art and Life after the Great East Japan Earthquake (2021), and her most recent exhibition, Entangled Territories: Tibet Through Images (2026). Her publications have contributed significantly to the fields of Asian studies, art history, and anthropology.
  
  The visit provided an opportunity for Dr. Nakamura to engage with Pakistan’s premier art and design institution, gain insight into its academic and creative practices, and explore avenues for future collaboration. Discussions focused on strengthening academic linkages, fostering cultural exchange, and identifying possibilities for showcasing and promoting Pakistani art and artists through international museum platforms, including the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.
  
  The meeting reflected a shared commitment to advancing cross cultural dialogue, expanding global visibility for Pakistani art, and building meaningful partnerships between NCA and leading international institutions.
