Art has the ability to give voice to the vast number of ordinary citizens suffering undertotalitarian rule in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, both past and present. Thispaper uses a mixed-analysis approach to examine three selected examples of visualrepresentations concerning the North Korean Refugee Movement in order to illustrate howArt functions as a strategic component of C4D, and how it can be effectively used by socialmovements as a way of framing movements’ identities in collective action, promotingawareness and enhancing resource mobilisation through the emotive communication ofknowledge. Art has been found to play an important role in the communication and transferof knowledge by creating powerful emotions and providing a voice to the otherwisevoiceless. Visual texts can be used strategically by social movements in the area of C4D toreinforce/create a collective identity and aid in movement participation by enhancingsolidarity and self-assurance while creating motivation for collective action.
