Introduction

As part of the centennial celebration of Ivan Illich, this gathering, centered in Oaxaca, Mexico, proposes an intellectual and political journey that links memory, critical thinking, and collective action. It begins with the presentation of the books Conviviality and Political Resistance from Below: Ivan Illich's Legacy in Mexico and Subversive Hope and Radical Conviviality: The Life and Work of Gustavo Esteva, which recover and update the legacies of Illich and Gustavo Esteva. It continues with the presentation of the Acervus Project as a living space for the preservation and activation of the work of Illich, CIDOC, and their circle of collaborators; and culminates with the articulation of collective horizons through the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, weaving together reflections and practices to rethink the world from below, in a hybrid event that calls for dialogue, sharing, and building alternatives from radical conviviality.
