Professor Consuelo Amat (Johns Hopkins University) develops a theory of nonviolent resistance under extreme repression, complementing the traditional "power in numbers" framework with a new logic of "power in autonomy." She argues that in highly repressive regimes, where mass mobilization is nearly impossible, nonviolent movements should focus on delivering public goods and services to the population. This strategy reduces dependence on the repressive state, fosters political power through autonomy, and sets the stage for mass mobilization when repression eases.

The Incan kingdom of Atahualpa succumbed to Spanish conquest and a colonial rule that would continue to haunt Peru for centuries later. P.6 artist Blas Isasi will be in conversation with P.6 artist Brooke Pickett to discuss his Prospect.6 project titled 1,001,532 CE. Isasi will share the creative process that took him to dig deep into his native Peru´s complex past in an attempt to collapse human history and deep time.
