Wot to write?art and identity

evidently from the title i don't know what to say exactly but here i go.....Art and Identity.
I was looking at some work by Fiona Foley/ thinking about National 'pride'...'groups' of people 'us and them' and then theres specifically the 'you and me' of Identity defining. most advertising seems to use identity 'improvement' (hmmmm ooooor sex) as a marketing tool. Identity art unlike advertising shows unidealised interpretation of idenity or idealised but perhaps sarcastic?
It seems in my mind to consist around most naturally issues relating to minorities or subcultures...Artist who are compelled to be understood for the good of the 'group'?maybe like a revolution or uprising...angst....i guess from prosecution, social and so on ...anyways just a few thoughts
