How about physical barriers caused by civil disorder:

Answer 2

I like the first  one best - you can really develop that. Also the idea of overcoming barriers like an athlete's pain barrier, overcoming physical barriers as in handicaps, social barriers, political barriers by protests..............hope it helps.

Answer 3

You could just do relationship barriers. This could involve height, weight, friends, family, age etc. Use photographs and magazines to build up your work book and just spend a day sitting in a public place, and listen to what people say about other people. You could use some words and things that you hear as your final peice.

Answer 5

I think you are thinking on the right lines, all your ideas sound interesting! Why not create art on social barriers, e.g. looking at prejudice or racism and not 'fitting in'. You could analyse body language, e.g. folding your arms when talking to someone is a barrier!
