South Bend’s Federico Rodriguez brings artworks that reimagines everyday objects, cultural symbols, and familiar images to reveal new perspectives. Federico was born and raised in South Bend to a family that held to Mexican American cultural traditions and explored them through music and dance. He was surrounded by creatives and extroverts from his earliest years. Today, as a conceptual and community-based artist, Federico’s work shifts how something ordinary can be understood, weaving together history, culture, and imagination in ways that encourage reflection, connection, and conversation.
