This article analyses the collective process of production and circulation of local memory and revitalization of Afro-Ecuadorian identity in the community of La Concepción advanced by CONA -MUNE-Carchi (National Coordinator Committee of Black Women of Ecuador). From an Andean, local, rural, and Afro-Ecuadorian context, we examine the intersection of memory, rituality and spirituality and its role in the process of resignifying and mobilizing Afro-diasporic political iden -tities in Ecuador. Based on the “Jardín de la Memoria Martina Carrillo” study case, we argue that CONAMUNE-Carchi resignifies the slavery past by a process of memorialization centred on the actions and narratives of Black women, which aim to remember and commemorate the collective struggles of the ancestors and challenge the silence and oblivion imposed by the dominant offi -cial history in Ecuador.
