ARTIST BIO

A fourth-generation FRISCOPINO, Harvey Magsaysay Lozada is an educator, social worker, healer, art curator, and visual storyteller.  He is the son of Filipino immigrants from the island regions of Luzon and Mindanao– tracing his familial roots in Ramaytush Ohlone Territory (San Francisco) as far back as the 1920s.  Harvey’s work is deeply rooted in community storytelling and social activism. Through photography, video, and curated art shows, he explores themes of cultural identity, social justice, and mutual aid. His projects, such as "It Takes the Hood to Save the Hood," document the resilience and collective efforts of marginalized communities, particularly in San Francisco's SOMA district. Harvey’s art has been featured in prominent venues and platforms, including Mission Cultural Center, Accion Latina, San Francisco Public Library, CAAM Fest, and KQED. He aspires to share OUR truths for generations to come.
