It highlights how various artistic mediums such as photography, installations, performance, and visual arts serve as powerful tools to communicate the complexities of structural inequality and promote public health advocacy. The review discusses the intersection of art and politics, as well as the potential for art to shift perspectives, foster empathy, and influence policy. It delves into case studies where artistic initiatives have contributed to health advocacy, particularly in marginalized communities, and demonstrates how art can be an effective therapeutic tool for healing, empowerment, and mobilization for health equity.
