In this article, the author considers how the diversity of art-making can help groups that face oppression consolidate their identity and support, build awareness of the greater community about the injustices the group faces, and foster cultural development useful in confronting social injustice through arts-informed social action. After addressing the challenges in defining what constitutes the arts and art-making, the author examines how art-making facilitates healing and catharsis, enables dissent, protest, and resistance, engenders emotional knowledge, and instills consciousness. The author then shows how art-making can enhance cultural practice through multiple strategies for representing oppression by those groups who must cope with its causes and consequences
