Klaudia Oliver is an cultural alchemist, artivist, and event producer living in San Miguel de Allende, in the central highlands of Mexico. Her passions lie in creating positive societal change and consciousness through art, culture, community, and unique experiences and events. Her work as the Founder and President of La Calaca AC, a four day, participatory arts and culture festival, which explores and reveres the traditions of Day of the Dead, is rooted in her core belief that artistic interventions in public spaces can help bridge our differences, create a space of beauty, awe, and remembrance, and thus serve to heal our communities.

In 2013, Klaudia was awarded “El Corazon de San Miguel”, by the mayor making her an official cultural ambassador of Conde Nast Traveller’s recently awarded “World’s Best City”.

Born in Monterrey, Mexico and raised in Texas, Klaudia lived in various European countries (France, Italy, Spain, and England) for 15 years . A force of nature from the start, she honed her craft of event production and PR at David Bowie’s management company, Outside London. Following 3 years in New York City, then rural England, in 2007, Klaudia settled in San Miguel de Allende, where instantly her nomadic feet took root. Since 2009, Klaudia has been a licensed TEDx organizer and has curated and produced TEDx events in San Miguel de Allende, Oaxaca, Valle de Bravo and at Burning Man, in Black Rock City, Nevada. She has spoken at TEDxSMU, TEDxTulum, and been a speaker and led ceremony at Envision Festival in Costa Rica.
