Documentary and art have long been used as tools for social change. But how and why they have the impact they do is less well known. This Storytelling Impact Autopsy invites three artists to put their works through an exercise in social change analysis, led by experts from the campaigning sector. Using change models and frameworks, we figure out why the pieces ‘work’ – why they have the impact they do and if there is anything else from the strategists’ handbooks which could help them go further.
