When you walk through Sevilla's Casco Antiguo, you see it everywhere: ancient buildings standing strong after centuries, cobblestone streets that have carried generations of footsteps, traditions that refuse to fade. This neighborhood doesn't just preserve the past — it brings it back to life, every single day.
That's what sustainability really means. Not freezing things in place, but giving them the energy to keep going, to evolve, to matter again.
REVIVE asks a simple question: What needs to come back? What ideas, practices, connections, or ways of being have we lost — or are close to losing — that could change everything if we brought them back?
Maybe it's the courage to rest when we're burned out. Maybe it's the craft of making things that last. Maybe it's remembering that our choices ripple outward — to our communities, our planet, the people who come after us.
This isn't about going backwards. It's about taking what's always been true and making it work for the world we're building now. Different perspectives, different fields, different voices — all exploring one powerful idea: revival is possible.
Meet the first speakers joining TEDxCasco Antiguo 2026.
Master embroiderer from Seville with more than 50 years of trajectory. From his workshop, he has elevated sacred embroidery through gold and silver thread, velvet, silk and ancestral techniques, preserving tradition while also innovating across fashion and decoration.
Creative and image director, filmmaker and photographer who conceives each project as a whole, where strategy, narrative and aesthetics are organically integrated. At the centre of his work is emotion: a force that guides every decision and transforms ideas into experiences that are felt and remembered.
Psychologist and applied behaviour analyst who translates behavioural science into useful ideas for real life: how we learn, why we repeat what does not work for us, and the role language plays in our suffering and wellbeing.
Camila Puya de Arcos is the creative director of Margaret de Arcos, a Seville-based brand specialising in hand-painted natural silk. A second-generation artisan trained at IED, she has fused tradition with contemporary design, positioning the brand internationally. Her work has been recognised with the Andalusian Craft Award and inclusion in the Homo Faber Guide by the Michelangelo Foundation. Through her practice, she champions craftsmanship as a living cultural language, connecting heritage, innovation, education and experience.
