Artist Statement
I am Carolina Quiroga, a dynamic bilingual storyteller dedicated to weaving the vibrant threads of Latin American heritage into the fabric of contemporary storytelling. For me, storytelling is not just a profession but a calling—a way to honor my roots and share the diverse tapestry of Latin American culture with audiences everywhere. Through my performances, I aim to be a cultural ambassador, using the art of storytelling to connect hearts, spark creativity, and celebrate the universal human experience.
As a teaching artist, I strive to explore our creative voices, minds, and bodies through the lens of storytelling. My goal is to inspire others to reconnect with their personal narratives, honor their ancestral roots, and see themselves as the heroes of their journeys. Through storytelling, I encourage individuals to tap into their creativity, embrace their unique stories, and discover the power of their imagination and heritage.
