Nadia Hironaka creates films, videos, immersive installations and environments, and public artworks. Working across moving-image culture and mass media idioms, Hironaka builds counter-mythologies, alternate or parallel realities, and forward-looking visions of the world around us. Her collaborative practice embraces research and experimentation, encompassing historical fact, popular fiction and creative speculation.

Hironaka is a recipient of a 2024 Public Works AIR, a 2015 Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a Pew Fellowships in the Arts and Fellowships from CFEVA and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Her work has been widely exhibited both domestically and abroad at venues including, Fondazione MAXXI (Rome), New Media Gallery (Vancouver), The Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia), UCLA Hammer Museum and Arizona State University Art Museum. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, the Banff Centre, Marble House, Interlude and the Millay Colony for Arts.
