This investigation takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of CADA's work, drawing from the literature in the fields of social psychology, sociology, and political science, among others, in order to develop the argument that, as a social movement, CADA's art actions promoted democratization and may have even had a therapeutic effect on those who participated in CADA's collective action project cache/th83kw5511n.txt txt/th83kw5511n.txt
