This page provides a brief overview of how to use the Arc of People Power. For a more detailed explanation, visit A Guided Tour.
How to enter
Enter the Arc through the Cityscape.
Each tile is a drawing, painting or photograph of a building representing a particular arc.
Hover over a tile to see the name of the arc it represents.
Clicking on a tile takes you to that arc.
The Arc
When you arrive at an arc, you see a dial that lets you choose how to explore that arc. Each arc can be explored in different ways.
Click or drag the dial to rotate it. Move a segment into the top position on the dial in order to visit:
Voices — quotes from people who lived through that time period
Stories — poems, short stories, and a brief narrative
Data — questions and information exploring Patterns of Repression and Patterns of Resistance
Images — a selection of drawings, paintings, and photographs evoking time and place, complete with captions
Music — a musical selection related to the arc, along with lyrics
There is no single path and no need to follow every angle. Choose whatever appeals to you.
Note: If a section on the dial is disabled, that means that particular section has not been developed yet. Some arcs currently include more sections than others.
Other options
If there are translations available in languages other than English, you can select them at the top of the page. The Inquisition is currently available in Arabic, English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Each arc page can also be viewed using one of two visual themes, which you can select at the top of the page. Stone and Textile themes are available.
