ABOUT LUMAN BEINGS

Luman Beings began as a spark between three individual makers who first joined forces at Surfana Festival. What started as a one-time collaboration quickly grew into a creative collective — a blend of shared vision, curiosity, and the joy of making things together. Over the past year, we’ve brought that energy to life through a variety of projects.

The surroundings have a futuristic and serene ambiance, with additional people visible in the background amongst the lights.
