ABSTRACT This paper explores the large map as an innovative visual art tool in a frontline art therapy project with refugees. In a volatile and hostile setting on the France-UK border at Calais, inhospitable spaces, for a time, become human places, and the capacity to imagine both other (people) and somewhere other (place) become possible. Within this emergency setting, a safe space is temporarily activated. In the complicated times in which we live, art therapists are uniquely positioned to offer crisis support to people in diverse contexts with ethical and imaginative practice, using both their psychological skills and the art itself in equal weight. Critical examination of art therapy interventions is a necessary aspect of ethical practice and can lead to adaptations. This can feed into contemporary debates about how to deliver crisis intervention work, social action, social justice, as well as issues of definition. Dialogue, collaboration and co-production can open debate, challenge injustices and lead to social change. Social media as an extension of practice can serve as a further innovation and offer an alternative potential space, particularly in crisis contexts and where face-to-face work is not possible. Plain-language summary This paper looks at the role of the large map in an ongoing frontline art therapy project with refugees in Calais, northern France. The authors write about the border context in which the work takes place. They then present some thinking about the use of maps within this setting. This is followed by an example of the work in practice in the form of one Facebook post written in February 2019. The authors discuss the themes and ideas about space and materials emerging out of this extract. The authors propose that the innovative choice and application of materials, which helps to create a safe space in this border setting, can be translated into other physically and psychologically challenging contexts. The core tenets of art therapy practice and the skills brought by art therapists are needed now as much as ever. The paper also invites art therapists to think critically and imaginatively about the materials and media they choose in relation to their own wider work contexts with people. The authors suggest that an important part of the art therapy intervention in a difficult place needs to be about reflecting and adapting to context, which includes crisis support. This in turn supports a dialogue that can challenge injustices and lead to social change. The collaborative reflections about the work, written into blog posts during the return journeys from France back to the UK, form a second practice innovation. The posts are shared with an online audience and sometimes read, commented upon and further shared by those who use the service in Calais. The posts attempt to present creative, impactful narratives about the human aspect of the refugee experience. This is in contrast to the dominant media narratives in which refugees are often depicted with negative stereotypes.

重新构想紧急空间：在法英边境加来的前线艺术治疗项目中实践创新

摘要 本文探讨了大地图作为难民前线艺术治疗项目中的一种创新视觉艺术工具。在法英边境加来动荡和充满敌意的环境中，荒凉的空间一度成为人类居住的地方，想象其他（人）和其他（地方）的能力成为可能。在这种紧急情况下，临时激活了一个安全空间。在我们生活的复杂时代，艺术治疗师处于独特的地位，可以通过道德和富有想象力的实践，在不同背景下为人们提供危机支持，同时利用他们的心理技能和艺术本身。对艺术治疗干预的批判性检查是道德实践的必要方面，可以导致适应。这可以促进当代关于如何提供危机干预工作、社会行动、社会正义以及定义问题的辩论。对话、合作和联合制作可以展开辩论、挑战不公正并导致社会变革。社交媒体作为实践的延伸可以作为进一步的创新并提供替代的潜在空间，特别是在危机情况下以及无法进行面对面工作的情况下。简明语言摘要 本文着眼于大地图在法国北部加来的难民前线艺术治疗项目中的作用。作者写了工作发生的边界背景。然后他们提出了一些关于在此设置中使用地图的想法。接下来是 2019 年 2 月发表的一篇 Facebook 帖子形式的实践工作示例。作者讨论了从该摘录中出现的关于空间和材料的主题和想法。作者提出，有助于在边界环境中创造安全空间的材料的创新选择和应用，可以转化为其他对身体和心理具有挑战性的环境。现在和以往一样需要艺术治疗实践的核心原则和艺术治疗师带来的技能。该论文还邀请艺术治疗师批判性地和富有想象力地思考他们选择的材料和媒体，以及他们自己与人的更广泛的工作环境。作者建议，在困难的地方进行艺术治疗干预的一个重要部分需要是反思和适应环境，其中包括危机支持。这反过来又支持可以挑战不公正并导致社会变革的对话。在从法国返回英国的回程中，对作品的协作反思被写入博客文章，形成了第二次实践创新。这些帖子与在线观众共享，有时会被在加来使用该服务的人阅读、评论和进一步分享。这些帖子试图呈现关于难民经历的人性方面的创造性、有影响力的叙述。这与主流媒体的叙述形成鲜明对比，在这些叙述中，难民经常被描绘成负面的刻板印象。这反过来又支持可以挑战不公正并导致社会变革的对话。在从法国返回英国的回程中，对作品的协作反思被写入博客文章，形成了第二次实践创新。这些帖子与在线观众共享，有时会被在加来使用该服务的人阅读、评论和进一步分享。这些帖子试图呈现关于难民经历的人性方面的创造性、有影响力的叙述。这与主流媒体的叙述形成鲜明对比，在这些叙述中，难民经常被描绘成负面的刻板印象。这反过来又支持可以挑战不公正并导致社会变革的对话。在从法国返回英国的回程中，对作品的协作反思被写入博客文章，形成了第二次实践创新。这些帖子与在线观众共享，有时会被在加来使用该服务的人阅读、评论和进一步分享。这些帖子试图呈现关于难民经历的人性方面的创造性、有影响力的叙述。这与主流媒体的叙述形成鲜明对比，在这些叙述中，难民经常被描绘成负面的刻板印象。这些帖子与在线观众共享，有时会被在加来使用该服务的人阅读、评论和进一步分享。这些帖子试图呈现关于难民经历的人性方面的创造性、有影响力的叙述。这与主流媒体的叙述形成鲜明对比，在这些叙述中，难民经常被描绘成负面的刻板印象。这些帖子与在线观众共享，有时会被在加来使用该服务的人阅读、评论和进一步分享。这些帖子试图呈现关于难民经历的人性方面的创造性、有影响力的叙述。这与占主导地位的媒体叙述形成鲜明对比，在这些叙述中，难民经常被描绘成负面的刻板印象。
