An immigrant artist from Manila, Philippines, Bodeck Luna creates pieces that explore the relationship between nostalgia, social empowerment, and decolonization. His background in street art heavily influences his figurative paintings, illustrations and murals. Luna’s site-specific murals aimed to honor local residents are displayed across Long Beach and its neighboring cities via Pow!Wow! In 2018 Luna was appointed as the Art Director for the first annual Long Beach Filipino Festival. In early 2020 he was invited to host a lecture on street art and activism at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
