What are the Affordances of Arts-Based Workshops with Refugee Women and Girls?

Abstract

This article explores the particular benefits of arts-based interventions with refugee women and girls and the potentialities for enhancing social justice. This truncated review of literature makes reference to arts-based communication, notions of female empowerment, symbolism and metaphor, and expressions of identity and agency and then moves on to explore a number of primarily participatory arts-based interventions with women and girl refugees, looking at the particular affordances yielded.

Keywords: female refugees and arts, social justice and art interventions, arts and gender, arts and female health, women’s empowerment and art.
