This paper considers how participatory arts informed by thinking in public health can play a significant part internationally in addressing inequalities in health. It looks beyond national overviews of arts and health to consider what would make for meaningful international practice, citing recent initiatives of national networks in English-speaking countries and examples of influential developments in South America and the European Union. In the context of public health thinking on inequalities and social justice, the paper posits what would make for good practice and appropriate research that impacts on policy. As the arts and health movement gathers momentum, the paper urges the arts to describe their potency in the policy-making arena in the most compelling ways to articulate their social, economic and cultural values. In the process, it identifies the reflexive consideration of participatory practice - involving people routinely marginalised from decision-making processes - as a possible avenue into this work.
本文探讨了受公共卫生思维启发的参与性艺术如何在国际上发挥重要作用，以解决健康方面的不平等问题。它超越了各国艺术与健康的概述，思考如何才能形成有意义的国际实践，并列举了英语国家国家网络的近期举措以及南美洲和欧盟有影响力的发展实例。在公共卫生领域关于不平等和社会正义的思考背景下，本文提出了有助于形成良好实践和对政策产生影响的适当研究的要素。随着艺术与健康运动的发展势头越来越强劲，本文敦促艺术界以最有说服力的方式描述其在决策领域的影响力，以阐明其社会、经济和文化价值。在此过程中，它将对参与性实践的反思性思考——让那些通常被排除在决策过程之外的人参与进来——视为开展这项工作的一条可能途径。
