Luanda Lozano is a founding member of the printmaking collective Dominican York Proyecto Gráfica (DYPG). Her printmaking career began in 1994 at The Printmaking Workshop, where she participated in the outreach program, bringing printmaking education to underserved communities. She also contributed to relocating the workshop to its current home at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts.
