James
Luna is
a Luiseno Indian who resides on
the La Jolla Indian Reservation.
Luna was born February 9, 1950.
He holds a BFA from the University
of California, Irvine and a MS
in Counseling from San Diego State
University. Luna feels that "art
work in the media of performance
and installation offers an opportunity
like no other for Indian people
to express themselves without
compromise in traditional art
forms of ceremony, dance, oral
traditions and contemporary thought.
Within these non-traditional spaces
one can use a variety of media
such as objects, sounds, video,
slides, so that there is no limit
in how and what is expressed."
James Luna will co-teach the Native
Storytelling workshop with Greg
Sarris.
