Carolina Quiroga is a Colombian-American storyteller, performer, writer, and creative facilitator whose work explores identity, belonging, memory, and the surprising ways cultures shape—and reshape—who we are.

​

Drawing from Latin American folklore, literature, history, and her own experiences as an immigrant, Carolina creates performances that blend humor, audience participation, and heartfelt storytelling. Whether she's reimagining ancient Maya myths, inviting audiences to play their way through the U.S. immigration system in Becoming 'Merican: The Game Show, or reflecting on language and identity in You Speak Very Good English!, her work celebrates the stories we inherit while asking how those stories continue to evolve.
 

Since arriving in the United States, Carolina has performed at festivals, theaters, museums, libraries, schools, and cultural organizations across the country, including the National Storytelling Festival and the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. Her performances invite audiences to laugh, reflect, question assumptions, and discover unexpected connections across cultures.
 

Carolina is also the creator of the award-winning literary podcast Tres Cuentos, now presented by Casa Lit, where she explores Latin American literature, folklore, and cultural traditions through carefully curated stories from across the region. The podcast can be found at casaliteraria.com.
 

As a teaching artist, Carolina has collaborated with schools from elementary through high school, experiences that continue to inform her approach to audience engagement and creative facilitation. (To learn more about her educational work, visit Fiesta Stories.)
 

Whether performing on stage, facilitating conversations, or sharing stories across generations, Carolina believes storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to build curiosity, empathy, and community. After all, culture isn't something we inherit once—it's something we keep creating together.
