ARTIST BIO

A fourth-generation FRISCOPINO, Harvey Lozada is an educator, community worker, healer, art curator, photographer, and visual storyteller. He is a son of Filipino immigrants from the islands of Luzon and Mindanao. Harvey traces his familial roots in Yelamu, occupied Ramaytush Ohlone territory (San Francisco, CA) as far back as the 1920s. He is a humble culture bearer and descendent of traditional medicine keepers such as abularyos and manghihilots from so-called, Philippines. 

Harvey’s healing journey began with community activism and engaging young people in the juvenile justice system. For over 18 years, he has dedicated his life to disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline through youth leadership development and culturally responsive counseling services for children and families throughout San Francisco. As an artist, Harvey curates art shows, makes photographs and videos to document community stories and social movements. He aspires to share OUR truths for generations to come.
