LUNA Poster

Inspired by Star Wars, the artist invites us to envision Revelstoke overtaken by extraterrestrials, blending imagination with the surreal.

In a galaxy far, far away, the Luna spaceperson touches down in the twilight zone of an alien-inhabited Revelstoke. With citizens replaced by extraterrestrials and other space travelers, the spaceperson moonwalks through the streets, taking in new perspectives and the delightfully unusual. Inspired by the Mos Eisley Cantina, the iconic star bar from *Star Wars*.
