In this chapter, we explore arts-based research as a way of doing critical social psychology. We provide a brief history of the development of arts-based research in psychology and offer a rationale for using arts-based approaches in psychology to tackle twenty-first century challenges. We then focus on one specific example of an arts-based project to consider in detail issues such as processes, problems, and outcomes. The example we have selected features a range of artistic genres that include film, music, and song. We engage with public responses to the work to explore its personal, psychological, social, and cultural meaning, showing how arts-based research can generate valued psychological insights and impacts. We close by proposing that arts-based research offers a means to radically democratize critical psychology research and scholarship.
