When: March 16th, 10:22 a.m.
Where: Reading an article by Ivan Illich in Charlottesville, VA
Ivan Illich, in an address to the Conference on InterAmerican Student Projects (CIASP) in 1968: “If you have any sense of responsibility at all, stay with your riots here at home. Work for the coming elections: You will know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how to communicate with those to whom you speak. And you will know when you fail. If you insist on working with the poor, if this is your vocation, then at least work among the poor who can tell you to go to hell.”
(On the importance of working locally and not exporting “charity design work.”)
