This paper describes a single-session Social Art intervention with a group of Eritrean migrant detainees in Israel during which they described their journey and created messages to the hegemonic Israeli society. The paper describes the protocol of the puzzle art intervention. It then presents the central themes within the asylum seekers’ art that include remembering home, the traumatic journey, arriving in Israel, and pleas to have empathy and to enable them to be free rather than imprison them. The aim of this case study is theoretical, using the case study to describe the characteristics and mechanisms of Social Arts (SA) as manifested in this activity. It shows how a SA orientation integrates the dual areas of psychological and also social agency. This is discussed as a complex theoretical challenge as well as an advantage. This paper hopes to illuminate the complexity of elements of SA as a specific and under-researched direction within art therapy. The descriptive arts activity also provides a protocol for using arts in similar shared reality group and community contexts.

本文介绍了与一群在以色列的厄立特里亚移民被拘留者进行的一次单阶段社会艺术干预，他们在此期间描述了他们的旅程并向霸权的以色列社会传达了信息。本文介绍了拼图艺术干预的协议。然后，它提出了寻求庇护者艺术中的中心主题，包括记住家园，经历创伤的旅程，到达以色列，以及恳求同情并使他们自由而不是监禁他们的恳求。本案例研究的目的是理论性的，使用案例研究来描述此活动中体现的社会艺术（SA）的特征和机制。它显示了SA取向如何整合心理和社会代理的双重领域。这被讨论为一个复杂的理论挑战以及一个优势。本文希望阐明SA要素的复杂性，这是艺术疗法中一个具体且研究不足的方向。描述性艺术活动还提供了在相似的共享现实群体和社区环境中使用艺术的协议。
