Colin Roberson
Colin Roberson (b.1988 New Orleans) studied photography at Louisiana State University, BFA 2012. Most recently, his work has appeared in Picture Newspaper, Juxtapox Magazine, The FADER, and The Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Roberson volunteers at the collectively run New Orleans Community Printshop, where screen printing and silver gelatin darkroom skills are taught to neighborhood youth and printing facilities are made available to the public.

To allay judgment and gain insight, Colin began performing as a go go dancer, seeking nocturnal passions in the French Quarter. In Fall 2017, Roberson begins MFA candidacy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
