Mama Antula, Disruptive Personality, her impact on a changing society

Maria Antonia de Paz y Figueroa was a woman like few others. Taking advantage of her condition of "woman and wretch" she knew how to enter through the cracks that the colonial social order left her, to make of her evangelizing mission a political project. Her objective was to keep alive the Ignatian principles of freedom, justice, equality, possibilism and discernment through the practice of the Spiritual Exercises. To raise the value of the person as a transforming subject with the capacity to act, was a transgression that ended up bearing fruit years later, during the process of emancipation.

Keynote - Carlos Moreno: The revolution of proximity to transform our cities in the 21st Century

The proximity revolution is emerging as a key transformation for our cities in the 21st century. This concept, popular around the world with the 15-minute city and the 1/2-hour territory, advocates urban development focused on accessibility and proximity, promoting a polycentric city with neighborhoods where residents can access essential services, work, education and leisure within a short distance. Implementing this vision not only reduces dependence on motorized transportation, reducing the carbon footprint, but also strengthens the local social and economic fabric. By fostering more walkable and livable urban spaces, the proximity revolution drives sustainable and resilient development, creating cities that are more humane and adapted to contemporary needs.
