Abstract

This paper explores the role of creative media practices in fostering community building and driving social change. It examines how various forms of media, such as digital platforms, social media, and traditional media, have become powerful tools for collective action and cultural expression. By analyzing case studies and theoretical frameworks, the paper highlights the innovative ways in which creative media practices have been utilized to address social issues, promote inclusivity, and challenge existing power structures. The study finds that creative media not only brings people together, facilitating community engagement and solidarity, but also encourages critical thinking and the development of alternative narratives. Furthermore, the paper discusses the potential challenges and limitations associated with creative media practices, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations and the safeguarding of digital rights. Ultimately, the paper argues that creative media practices are indispensable in contemporary society, acting as catalysts for positive social transformation and cultural development.
