About Rolando Palacio
Rolando Palacio, born of Mexican immigrant parents, traveled throughout the U.S. as a migrant farm laborer. This experience impacted his view of art and the way he observed the world. As a young man he traveled throughout the Midwest with his family and in these spaces, he always found himself navigating between immigrant migrant camps and the world outside of these camps. His love for photography came from his desire to give voice to the individuals that exist in spaces hidden from society. After completing his undergrad at Michigan State University, Rolando went on to receive his MFA at the University of Michigan, where he further developed his craft in both photo and video. Rolando presently settles in the US where he continues documenting the world around him.
