Heber Rodriguez is a Los Angeles-based curator, arts administrator, and cultural producer dedicated to building community through cultural events, exhibitions, and performances. His curatorial practice is deeply shaped by his personal journey as an undocumented individual growing up in Northeast Los Angeles, where he found sanctuary and identity in the arts. He collaborates with artists and creatives to develop programs that position the arts as tools for liberation, amplify underrepresented voices and stories, and inspire action toward a more equitable and just society. Heber holds an MA in Art and Curatorial Practices in the Public Sphere from the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Art and Design. He currently serves as the Director of Exhibitions at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, CA, where he works to present innovative and socially engaged contemporary art that resonates with diverse audiences.
