The pursuit of social justice must include art and creativity to challenge systems of oppression and imagine a new world. Arts-based approaches, specifically puppetry, can offer social work researchers and practitioners another way of exploring complex community issues. While puppetry has been used as a therapeutic intervention with children, puppetry also has roots in community-based education and organising efforts that social work can learn from. Drawing upon empirical and theoretical literature, this paper describes how puppetry can aid in the creation of actionable knowledge that can promote social change within social work practice, research, and education.
