Abstract: This paper explores the crucial role of narrative change in advancing the restorative justice movement, with a particular emphasis on the role of artists and storytellers.
Grounded in theories of narrative and artistic activism and drawing on specific examples of visual art, fiction, and creative non-fiction that communicate restorative justice, this paper considers the important work of imagining the world we are trying to build—and drawing others into the promise and possibility of that imagination in order to make it real.
