about me
Writer, performance creator, and interdisciplinary researcher with more than fifteen years of experience, specializing in books that explore Mexican popular culture and biographical narratives built through meticulous investigation — specialist interviews, archival and documentary research, and oral history — combined with an authorial gaze that seeks to illuminate what is essential in each story.
My work naturally weaves together creativity, critical thinking, and storytelling as ways of transforming experience into language. I do not see my training and trajectory as separate disciplines; each practice feeds the others. In this sense, my vocation as an actress has profoundly shaped how I narrate, listen, and embody other voices through writing and performance, recognizing and honoring the singular rhythm of every life.
Welcome
Claudia Silki / Claudia Espinoza: Two names, one voice
Some stories are so curious they require more than one name. In my case, two coexist, play, and complement each other: Claudia Espinoza, the writer and researcher who dives into archives, rescues memories, and transforms history into living narratives; and Claudia Silki, the actress who gives body and voice to characters, exploring the infinite possibilities of fiction.
If you arrived here looking for Claudia Espinoza, welcome to the word laboratory.

And if what you seek is someone who can turn memory into a performance or fiction into a living document, then you’re exactly where you need to be.
