Fernanda Espinosa is an oral history-based practitioner and cultural organizer based in New York/New Jersey and Ecuador. She approaches storytelling as one of the many ways of transmitting knowledge and her analysis and practice are deeply embedded in interrogating colonial standards, including story forms. Since 2014 she has been generating, listening to, and interpreting oral histories with a focus on Latinx and Latin American voices in English and Spanish and cultivating public interventions that aspire to act as platforms for resistance and dialogue. Espinosa holds a degree in Oral History from Columbia University where her thesis was awarded the 2018 Jeffrey H. Brodsky Oral History Award. Most recently, she led community partnerships with StoryCorps from 2018 to 2020, and was awarded the 2020 MDOC Storyteller's Institute Fellowship. Fernanda is also the co-founder and coordinator of Cooperativa Cultural 19 de enero (CC 1/19), a wandering art and oral transmissions collaboration.
