This paper describes a single-session social art intervention with a group of Eritrean migrant detainees in Israel where they described their journey and created messages to the hegemonic Israeli society. The paper describes the protocol of the patchwork art intervention. It then presents the central themes of the refugees’ 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 SA (Social Arts) 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.

Even though both public and cultural diplomacy have undergone a rapid process of digitalization, few studies have examined professional, institutional and theoretical similarities between the two: These Seminars seek to address this substantial gap. The public and cultural divide - sessions about culture and digitalization in light of New Diplomacies discussion. See you there! 

The digitalization of public diplomacy has transformed how diplomats perceive and communicate with foreign populations. In recent years, foreign ministries and embassies have increasingly employed digital platforms to interact with online publics through social media profiles, virtual worlds, or smartphone applications. Some have referred to these practices as the “new” public diplomacy. In conjunction, cultural institutions have also migrated online to forge ties with online publics and promote culture as a universal language that facilitates dialogue, cross-cultural discourse, and understanding. Following the CORONA-19 pandemic, this process has significantly accelerated. This Seminar will investigate how traditional actors employ digital technologies to interact with digital publics ranging from virtual reality to online exhibitions and shed light on whether new digitized tools may overcome the challenges encountered by diplomats online.
