As a participant in the Creatives for Climate Action - Thailand (CCAT) conference, organized by the EUNIC Cluster Thailand, Creative Migration and the Creative Economy Agency (CEA), I was deeply impressed by their commitment to embedding sustainability into every facet of the event. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Creative Migration practiced what they preached, not only encouraging climate action but actively demonstrating it through thoughtful, environmentally conscious planning. One of the most striking elements of the conference was its zero-waste approach. Every detail had been meticulously considered, from eco-friendly packaging to waste management systems. The event was free from single-use plastics, and instead, participants were provided with reusable items such as cups and utensils. Even the promotional materials were either digital or made from recycled materials, reflecting their dedication to minimizing waste. The upcycling and recycling initiatives were equally impressive. Recycling stations at the venue were easy to find, with clear labeling to ensure participants knew where to dispose of their waste responsibly, reinforcing the conference’s sustainability message in a practical and engaging manner. What made the event truly exceptional was the way Creative Migration integrated these environmental efforts into the broader conversation about climate action in the creative industry. Through presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, the event highlighted how every aspect of the creative process— from production to consumption—can be aligned with sustainability principles. As a participant, I left feeling not only inspired by the rich discussions on climate action but also by the way Creative Migration led by example, ensuring that sustainability was not just a topic of discussion but a tangible practice. This thoughtful execution made the CCAT conference more than just a space for dialogue—it became a blueprint for how cultural events can contribute to a more sustainable future.
I brought a cohort of Climate Communications Fellows from across Asia-Pacific to visit Creative Migrations. This visit was a part of an in-person convening where we explored the climate nonprofit ecosystem in Bangkok. Lidia and Anji hosted us and shared more about Creative Migrations' work which sits at the intersection of climate and culture. Their work brings more people into the climate community by providing the space and inspiration to start meaningful conversations around climate through the art gallery (Bangkok 1899) which upholds the highest sustainability standards. They also provide useful resources such as the Creatives for Climate Action toolkit. Our visit to Creative Migrations, along with our conversation with Lidia and Anji, provided endless inspiration and facilitated meaningful discussion which encouraged the Fellows to think more creatively and more critically about how they can weave climate action into their fellowship work placements.
This beautiful organization has made so many unique and impactful creative campaigns and multiplatform projects possible. I’m continuously impressed by their innovation and fortitude, their commitment to artistic integrity and community engagement, and their unwavering courage in prioritising the climate and environmental issues we all face.
Working with Creative Migration has been an incredible experience. Under the leadership of Susannah Tantemsapya, the organization excels at blending cultural diplomacy with effective climate action, focusing on multi-lateral partnerships and integrating climate adaptation into the arts. Their commitment to practical sustainability measures and climate impact reporting demonstrates a genuine and impactful approach. Creative Migration’s strategic initiatives, like Creatives for Climate Action - Thailand (CCAT), highlight their innovative projects that foster significant dialogue and influence both environmental and public policy. Collaborating with them has been enlightening, especially seeing their rigorous and thoughtful execution in advocating for a sustainable future. I eagerly anticipate our ongoing collaboration and the groundbreaking projects on the horizon.
I stay d here in December 2024, we had an excellent experience. Everyone was so welcoming, interested and willing to share their experience and introduce us to the other non profits in the vicinity.
I have met Susannah Tantemsapya, founder and director of Creative Migration, in Los Angeles as I was - as a French visual artist - researching on domestic architecture in South California. Her strenght and engagement impressed me deeply.
When she invited me for a residency at Bangkok 1899 years later in 2023 to produce new works, show it, and give a workshop, I was amazed to be so perfectly well accompanied in all the dimensions of our collaboration. Thank you again for being so professionnal and carefull and perfect !
I am a dance artist that visited Bangkok 1899 for a residency to develop my work.
The team are very very helpful, considerate, understanding, patient, kind, grounded, honest and transparent. Any access needs, communication felt easy and comfortable to ask.
Very strong dedication and commitment, to fulfilling their roles, and going beyond.
Felt really cared for.
Many thanks!
The Creative Migration team is a powerhouse of talent and dedication. Their passion for the arts and their commitment to making a difference are evident in every project they undertake.
I truly think that Creative Migration is a spark of creativity and community. Their projects are incredibly inspiring with long-lasting impacts, and their commitment to sustainability is absolutely commendable.
I had the privilege of partnering with this organisation to co-deliver an artistic residency, and the experience has been truly transformative. Throughout our collaboration, I gained invaluable insights into building a climate-conscious, artist-centred programme that prioritises care, ambition, and innovation. Their thoughtful and creative approach to every aspect of the project ensured that we consistently pushed the boundaries of what was possible. This organisation truly embodies a commitment to artistic development, and it has been a pleasure working with them to bring this programme to life.
Creative Migration did an amazing job in producing the Creatives for Climate Action Thailand Conference (CCAT) this year!
Bangkok1899 stands as an exceptional venue for Placemaking Week Thailand 2023. Its prime location, complemented by the captivating historical architectural style, leaves a lasting and distinguished impression on all attendees. The inclusion of Na Cafe is a notable asset, as it offers distinctive catering options that enhance the grandeur of the opening, during, and closing ceremonies. This makes it an exemplary choice for the event.
As Deputy Head of Mission at the Austrian Embassy Bangkok and current president of a local network of European Cultural Institutes, called EUNIC-Cluster Bangkok, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Bangkok 1899 and Creative Migration over the last months in the framework of an upcoming cultural project that involves art students from Thailand and Europe as well as the Nangloeng community.
Since the beginning of this collaboration I was impressed by the expertise and drive of the team of Bangkok 1899 which proved to be a key success factor for the efficient and smooth implementation of the upcoming project. Their strong connections to the local art scene and the community were essential in ensuring that the art project is relevant and interesting to the local context.
As a long-time community leader in Nangloeng, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Bangkok 1899, a unique cultural and civic hub that has had a profound impact on our neighborhood.
Bangkok 1899 is more than just a physical space. It's a powerful force that's intimately connected to our local community, especially in Nangloeng. This hub embodies a commitment to intersectional practices that have fostered unity and collaboration among our residents.
What makes Bangkok 1899 truly exceptional is its close collaboration with our local community. It has provided a platform for our neighbors to come together, exchange stories, and engage in activities that strengthen our bonds. This hub acts as a bridge, connecting the global with the local, and supporting the arts, community development, and social progress.
Bangkok 1899 is a great space for us to host the City Learning Days event. Additionally, there are charming, modern-style cafes within this location. For those seeking a venue for both indoor and outdoor events, Bangkok 1899 presents an intriguing option.
Program Management Unit on Area Based Development
Nangloeng, a vibrant neighborhood nestled in the heart of Bangkok, has witnessed a transformation that has breathed new life into its streets, thanks to the remarkable initiative of Creative Migration. As a community-based artist and activist who has been deeply involved in Nangloeng for over 15 years, I can't help but express my profound appreciation for the birth of Bangkok 1899.
What strikes me most about Bangkok 1899 is the profound dedication to collaborative community building. This hub has become a sanctuary for artists, activists, and the broader community alike. It serves as a bridge between disparate voices, allowing them to find common ground, share experiences, and work together towards a brighter future. The sense of unity and camaraderie that pervades the space is nothing short of inspirational.
As an artist and activist entrenched in the Nangloeng neighborhood, I have witnessed firsthand the impact of Bangkok 1899. From thought-provoking art installations that challenge the status quo to educational programs that empower the youth, this hub encapsulates the essence of change that we all desire. It's a place where local wisdom and global insights converge, fostering innovation and collective growth.
Bangkok 1899 is a testament to the power of art, activism, and community-building. Creative Migration has not only realized its visionary goals but has also ignited a fire in the heart of Nangloeng. This hub serves as a reminder that when we come together as a community, the possibilities for transformation are boundless. With its commitment to social practice, systemic change, and interdisciplinary engagement, Bangkok 1899 has truly redefined what it means to be a cultural and civic hub in the 21st century. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking to be inspired, educated, and connected in the beautiful tapestry of Nangloeng and beyond.
Wonderful place, wonderful people and the atmosphere is wonderful It is an area suitable for activities. Exhibitions There is also a cafe where you can sit and relax.
Having volunteered with Creative Migration and Bangkok 1899, it is plain to see how their blending of art, environmentalism, and social impact coalesce in a meaningful way for the Thai community. From exhibitions that partner with locals to waste reduction measures to mitigate ecological impact, this organization practices what it preaches.
During 2022 and 2023 I had the immense pleasure to develop a large-scale project in Thailand following an invitation from Susannah Tantemsapya, head of Creative Migration. This complex project entailed extensive field work in several National Parks of Thailand to carry out a plethora of environmental sound recordings, which were subsequently used for the creation of a sound piece and immersive live performance, to be presented to the public at Bangkok1899. From beginning to end, the development of this project –which also had the fruitful and generous collaboration of the Spanish Embassy in Thailand– was a fabulous experience thanks to the steering, generosity and enthusiasm of Susannah and all her crew of volunteers, assistants and collaborators. This was particularly awesome with the local collaborators working at Bangkok1899 and Na Cafe. I only have sincere words of acknowledgment and appreciation for Creative Migration. The five stars of this review are truly deserved! ---Francisco Lopez, composer / audio-artist.
As an intern at CM, I could not have had a better experience. I was a remote worker, but Susannah was accommodating and made me feel inclusive despite not being able to work in person at her flagship Bangkok1899! She provided immense opportunities for me to network at her home base in LA, and made her work accessible to all. She is passionate about her work along with everyone else involved with her projects. CM is driven, innovative, and forward-looking in every aspect. Not only did I learn new skills, but I learned to look at art with an international and environment friendly lens, which is something I will take with me in every creative endeavor I take.
I worked with Creative Migration as an intern at Bangkok 1899 during the summer of 2023. During the internship, I had the opportunity to be involved in a number of meaningful projects that provided unique experiences to learn from, in areas such as events management, public relations, communications, web design, graphic design etc.. Susannah was a great mentor to us all during our time here, and was very encouraging in helping us develop our professional skills and network. My wonderful colleagues and team at Bangkok 1899/CM have also always brought a steadfast enthusiasm for the company's mission - I will definitely remember the friendships and experiences I had during this internship as I move on to future endeavours!
I had the opportunity to intern at Creative Migration's flagship space at Bangkok during June and July, and have gained invaluable working experience, as well as a deeper understanding and appreciation for arts NGOs. Working with a small team managed by Executive Director Susannah, I picked up a myriad of skills including social media outreach, web design, accounting management and liasing with external parties. I can see that Susannah and the rest of the staff behind Creative Migration work very hard in order to provide artists the space and tools to create and exhibit their work, while collaborating to be environmentally conscious. I will surely remember the wisdom I gained from working here for any future endeavours!
I interned with Creative Migration at their location Bangkok 1899 for 2 months and it was a valuable experience to learn more about the workings of an NGO, cultural programming, and sustainable practices. My task was mainly to work on the Climate Impact Reports, which was an interesting experience to learn more about sustainability in the arts sector. Together with other member organizations from the Ford Rescue and Engagement Center, CM is doing great work for the local community!
Creative Migration's role in Bangkok's cultural fabric is nuanced and versatile. I got acquainted with the program by attending events at Bangkok 1899, and thoroughly appreciated the commitment of Susannah's site-specific approach, honoring the socio-cultural legacy of the city. Looking forward to next year's works!
a very singular place in bangkok, at the intersection of arts culture and local community. The place itself is a historical treat and it feels like a home, and the programming is top notch.
Creative Migration is a wonderful nonprofit with an interesting vision in my opinion. I'm glad to have worked with them!
I’ve attended several events held at Bangkok 1899 and commend the dedication, passion and professionalism of the team. Bangkok 1899 has really grown to be a cultural hub in a beautifully renovated space. Managing a calendar of cultural programs is a monumental task on its own, and Susannah executes programs with professionalism and attention to detail.
Creative Migration is a thoroughly inspiring organisation. I've worked with them and the director Susannah more often recently on events, such as World Environment Day in Bangkok in 1899. Their creativity and commitment to climate diplomacy are great initiatives for the issues of our time. I'm now working with Precious Plastic Bangkok, and we're featuring in formulating a Climate Impact Report related to an event, "WONDERLAND" FREC Bangkok Open House. I hope the report will be a good basis for measuring environmental impacts and I'm grateful that our paths have crossed.
Excellent, proactive, passionate organisation that has successfully put on truly unique and creative art pieces and installations over the last couple of years. Creative Migration also makes use of the Bangkok 1899 space beautifully, incorporating the gardens and interior spaces to great effect.
Great traditional location, hosting tremendous exhibitions and performances. The management team is also hospitable and friendly.
Having interned for Creative Migration for over two months, I can attest that the experience has been nothing but positive! I believe that Creative Migration's approach of combining cultural and climate diplomacy is both innovative and effective, and I hope to see it flourish! I've learned both hard and soft skills in the process, deep diving into the behind-the-scenes work of a non-profit, and got to contribute in developing CM's Climate Policy, which was a huge honor and a great learning experience. It was a pleasure to work with Susannah Tantemsapya, CM's founder, who approaches what she does with both empathy and level-headedness - she has a lot of expertise to share and a personal touch! I also appreciated that CM worked closely with other non-profits, creating a sense of collaboration and unity. I am happy that I was chosen as an intern for CM, and I hope our paths cross in the future!
As an intern at Creative Migration, I had the opportunity to learn about the inner workings of the organisation. I am very impressed by Creative Migration's emphasis on cultural and climate diplomacy, as well as its efforts toward community building and intersectional practices. I am delighted to have been part of Creative Migration and to have contributed to its wonderful causes!
Creative Migration's intelligent, empathetic, innovative, and deeply-engaged director, Susannah Tantemsapya has leant enormous insight, creative insight, and enviable expertise to several projects I have had the privilege to collaborate with her upon. Between independent film projects, artistic residencies, public art installations and business consultancy, Susannah's extensive experience within the cultural sector, her empathy with multiple stakeholders, and her visionary direction of creative projects within and beyond Creative Migration, all ensure her work, and that of Creative Migration, continues to catalyse and sustain, transformative cross-cultural, transnational initiatives, dialogues, and collaborations. Realising innovative creative visions from inception, production and execution, Susannah remains a contemplative, accessible collaborator, one I cannot more emphatically recommend, both personally and professionally.
I first discovered Creative Migration and it’s work in 2020, and connected with its executive director, Susannah Tantemsapya shortly thereafter. Creative Migration is truly unique as an organization in how it draws on art and culture to address global challenges, advances cultural diplomacy, and changes the way audiences think about the world and how individuals and communities relate to each other. I don’t know of any other non-profit that plays this role, and this is largely due to Susannah’s vision and creative energy - I learn and gain new perspectives from working with her and following Creative Migration. I look forward to watching it continue to grow and undertake new projects!
I met Susannah of Creative Migration at a presentation several years ago and was immediately intrigued with her approach to present and producing art and shepherding artists toward their goals. I joined as an advisor and eventually became a board member because I believe in the importance of the CM mission. CM’s mission is global and forward reaching. It’s entrepreneurial approach is essential for artists trying to navigate the world as it is and will be. CM has consistently challenged the status quo and found innovative solutions to new issues. Breaking new ground is not just a phrase for CM. It’s the core mission of the organization.
Creative Migration is building bridges at the intersection of sustainability and the arts, inspiring a new generation of creators with its focus on transmedia and elevating excluded voices in the Global South. I have deep respect and admiration for their work and ongoing commitment to create hubs and residencies for underserved communities.
As a young impact producer myself, I am personally inspired by Susannah's work and I can't wait to continue collaborating with her network of amazing creators and frontline activists.
I love how Creative Migration bridges art, culture and environmental action. Every project is such an inspiration, you can feel the dedication and passion. Susannah is a force of nature!
Creative Migration is an amazing organization. Susannah Tantemsapya is a very curious and open minded person, she is working hard to bring to the world projects that make sense, that help bringing awareness about climate change in a fun, educational and creative way. I worked with her years ago on a project and it was one of my most exciting professional experiences to this day.
I had a great experience as an intern with Creative Migration. I was impressed by how Bangkok 1899, a cultural hub established by Creative Migration, provided the ideal place for people to come together to celebrate art. Furthermore, the emphasis on sustainable practices in art makes me proud to have contributed to the cause!
I have been doing a remote internship with Creative Migration for 2 months and it turned out to be more than I expected! These past few months are so rewarding despite the pandemic keeping us apart. To be honest, I didn’t picture myself performing tasks like translating, migrating data, video editing, or even designing. Everything was new to me, yet I felt relieved with all the help from my colleague and the team. Working here, even just for a short period of time, made me become more professional and confident in both of my hard and soft skills. Everyone was so kind and open-minded. They always value my thoughts and feelings. It is my pleasure to work with them all. Thank you Tara for introducing me to Adobe Illustrator. Thank you P’Ying for always reviewing my translations. Thank you Edwin for being patient with me and working on the videos until the very last minute. Thank you Susannah for being such a caring and warm-hearted person. I’m looking forward to another movie from you soon. Lastly, I would like to thank Creative Migration as a whole for creating such impactful projects and events. It is good to know that this organization has been brought to light by many people.
I interned with Creative Migration for 3 months and my internship experience has been truly memorable and rewarding! Looking back, my work with the organisation has been nothing short of insightful, fun and fulfilling. From communications to data research, I have learnt a myriad of soft and hard skills across these months that I'm eager to utilise in college and in future occupations! Susannah is an incredibly humble, friendly and sincere person, and I have learnt so much about the eye-opening works of non-profits and the Arts from her professional guidance. Creative Migration possesses an inspiring workplace culture of inclusivity, warmth and resilience, achieving visionary endeavours with a remarkable and original mission for a great cause. I'm immensely grateful to have had this opportunity to grow and learn from such an amazing organisation and mentor, and I would love to continue working with Creative Migration again in the future!
I got involved with Creative Migration through organizing a pavilion for the Bangkok Biennial 2020. Due to the pandemic, I was stuck in LA and had to do everything remotely. Creative Migration has a space in Bangkok, called Bangkok 1899 which they generously offered to me as a space to host our artist talk and closing party. Often times, art lacks the financial support and public visibility that are crucial to reaching an audience. Creative Migration's willingness to share resources and support my project testify to their pivotal role in maintaining art and cultural conversations, nationally and internationally.
Although the scope of ambition behind Creative Migration is impressive, for me it comes down to something very simple and utterly essential: to provide a space for people of all walks of life, and ages, to mingle, exchange ideas and feel at ease. In the fractious environment of Bangkok this is no small task. Since its inception in Thailand, I have watched it take shape and begin to flourish, transforming a rather forlorn historical building into a beautifully restored and lively cultural centre, where Creative Migration is based. It is especially gratifying to witness this achievement in the knowledge that this is also a renewal and restoration of the energy and sense of community that had originally characterised the building.
Creative Migration is a great organization doing important arts and cultural development work in both Bangkok and Los Angeles. This combination brings new fresh voices to each city and compelling programming which challenges how arts organizations can work with local urban communities. I particularly think the artist in residence, which supports mothers and disadvantaged women is an important resource for working artists. We have collaborated with Creative Migration in many projects and have always enjoyed their professionalism and dedication.
We had the pleasure to collaborate with Creative Migration for a series of art and design projects in Bangkok and Los Angeles, ranging from live performance, to installations and relational art. Creative Migration has proved to be a professional and reliable partner, leveraging connections to local communities as well as to the art world while flawlessly managing and coordinating the events. We are looking forward to work with them again.
Creative Migration is a visionary organization that harnesses the power of art in an interconnected world. With a focus on social practice, the work of Creative Migration builds long-term relationships that foster community impact far beyond the life of the project. Their interdisciplinary approach addresses systemic change. From examining urban planning to creating opportunities for communities to break bread, their projects are engaging, thoughtful and impactful.
We have gotten great support from Creative migration from screenings to connections for other screenings and partners. Their goal is to help support artists and connect them to others and they have been great in that way for us.
Creative Migration... what can I say?! They are the best. I have shown at MoMA, The Whitney, all over Europe, and hands down Creative Migration is my favorite collaborative partner. I've worked with them for the last 13 years and look forward to working with them for 13 more!
Single Thread Theatre (Canada) had a wonderful experience working with the Creative Migration team in Bangkok to produce a solo audience immersive theatre experience and a site specific workshop with primary school students in 2019. They were helpful, hardworking and very committed to supporting us in engaging with the local community through programming that is innovative and collaborative.
I have worked with Creative Migration as an intern for one month at their new cultural and civic hub, Bangkok 1899. It has been a true delight to work with everyone at the facility and I have learned so much regarding sustainability, social work, and how to spark change in local communities. During my internship, I focused on preparing communications and branding for the 60 Second Film Festival which Creative Migration is partnering with, along with integrating sustainability into this upcoming event. I conducted research on environmentally conscious filmmaking and learned from previous case studies that exemplify best practices. From this research, I could bring something to the table that matched the values and ideals of both Creative Migration and the 60 Second Film Festival while improving the way it was being presented. In tandem with the communications work that I did, I also assisted in archiving and coordinating hundreds of images that document the restoration of Bangkok 1899. These images showcase the history of the facility and allowed me to have a unique perspective while working there. I was able to use my previous experience to migrate and organise these valuable images in a coherent manner even though we encountered setbacks and technological difficulties along the way. Whenever we hit a slow point in one area of work, there was always something else that I could work on, one of these things was social media! I finalised reports on audience engagement for the various accounts that Creative Migration has and I helped analyze the results. These statistics were necessary for some of the presentations with the 60 Second FIlm Festival, so I also worked on integrating them. I'm so grateful that I had this opportunity and was able to make a difference in both the internal workings of Bangkok 1899 and their more external partnerships through Creative Migration. I'm also very thankful for the kindness, understanding, and enthusiasm that Susannah, Abigail, and Ying exhibited during my internship. The Creative Migration team is a wonderful bunch and their events are meaningful in ways that the world really needs right now throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate crisis.
It's such a great honor to be an intern at Bangkok 1899. I was given many opportunities and been a part of their projects. My responsibility is mainly focusing on social media which is unfamiliar and quite hard for me, however, I would like to say many thanks to my team for being an emotional supports and helping me go through this tough time. Furthermore, being an intern here allow me to improve my diverse skills and found myself. In a bad moment there may still be some good things, I felt that my internship here was definitely an incredible and amazing moment in 2020!
I was supposed to be an intern at Bangkok 1899, Creative Migration's flagship cultural and civic hub, over the summer break. But due to COVID-19, I ended up having to do a remote internship instead, which proved to be very fulfilling and engaging! As a remote intern working in Singapore, I was given many opportunities to engage with their community events in Bangkok such as organising social media content and correspondence between different parties. Furthermore, I was responsible for data migration and website design for a few of their affiliated websites, something that I was both unfamiliar and inexperienced in. However, this opportunity made me uncomfortable in the best way possible: by allowing me to explore different skills in a safe space, I was able to make mistakes, learn and grow during the internship. Working with a team that was inclusive, patient and supportive was incredibly rewarding! As such, I felt that my internship definitely did not disappoint despite it being remote!
I had the pleasure of volunteering with Creative Migration for their grand opening in the space that is Bangkok 1899 and was incredibly inspired by their dedication and passion to bring the arts to local communities. I can't wait to see how else they grow and will undoubtedly be giving them my time again!
Having worked as an intern with Bangkok 1899 for two months, I found the place to be and amazing pubic space for local community as well as sustainability advocation. The team of Creative Migration is so passionate about this project. They actively engage with like-minded volunteers and individuals to help progress their cause to creatively shape the society for the better.
I engaged with Creative Migration in Bangkok at a number of their well-organized and interesting events. The team is reliable and hands-on in their approach and I appreciate their emphasis on sustainability.
Creative Migration and Bangkok 1899 is simply amazing. The mission and the people are inspiring.
Every time I go to an event or even when I stop by their cafe, I love everything about it. The place and the people are so welcoming.
This is an incredible resource for the community and I can't wait to see it fully blossom and have even greater positive impact on the local community and for the world.
Excited to see the wonderful work Creative Migration is doing in Bangkok! A great place to network with other world changers and creatives. A sense of community that is rarely matched. Keep it up!!
As a resident in Bangkok, our community and my life personally have been enriched with the art, culture, and community connections that have occurred through the work of Creative Migration through their project at Bangkok 1899. Keep up the great work!
Love the programming at Creative Migration. Bangkok 1899 brings a completely new feeling to the Nang Leorng neighborhood, and the Bangkok 1899 are very good at being inclusive with locals. The films and installations are incredibly thought provoking, and I always look forward to learning something new everytime i go.
Bangkok 1899 a vibrant, inspiring space that is ran by creative migration inc is a credit to the Bangkok community. Events held there are supportive, inclusive and diverse.
The work they do supports the growing Bangkok scene - check out the facebook page to find out what is coming up next.
I attended the grand opening at Baan Chao Phraya, which is close to the Golden Mount temple in the old town of Bangkok. They house several foundations with the aim of increasing art, community and sustainability activities in the local community. By pooling their resources their service offering goes further. The education projects that focus on sustainability, such as composting and recycling, are incredibly important to the community. And the verdant canopy of plants, trees and vegetables they are growing only serve to enhance the beauty of the impressive architecture. The people and inspiring surroundings combine to create a welcoming and truly inspirational atmosphere.
If you’re interested in arts and cultures. Creative Migration is one of the best organizations for you.
What an amazing place to visit in Thailand! It fills with rich cultures and history, plus the staffs are really informative and chill. I rate this place an A for awesome.
Art is never created in a vacuum. Cultures and public circumstances are important behind the creator. Hope to see the more project from Creative Migration and artist !
Bangkok 1988 is an amazing place to learn a new experience of arts and culture.
I'm looking forward to seeing this project.
Bangkok1899 is a great project!
People can learn and share regarding art and culture together especially, Thai culture.
I hope this project will be success in Thailand.
Not everyone has the luxury to travel abroad for art and cultural experience. Creative Migration changed the approach by bringing the 'world' into local communities, creating art and cultural diversity in places you least expected.
Creative Migration is a progressive organisation that looks not only to nurture art but enhance its social impact. It does this by encouraging the creation, interaction and reflection on art across borders and socio-economic status.
My first interaction with Creative Migration came from its Bangkok project: Bangkok 1899. Here, Creative Migration uses art as a centrepiece for community building while working in collaboration with several other Bangkok-based charities and initiatives to attend to local needs in a holistic manner. I feel that the project is definitely on its way to becoming a distinguished community centre of sorts that will no doubt provide inspiration and perhaps even a blueprint for the development of similar centres around the world.
Creative Migration is working hard to advance cultural diplomacy not only in the USA but also at an international level. I'm more than happy that Creative Migration is also working in Bangkok, Thailand. It's truly exciting to see the mixture of arts, public engagement, and sustainability in this side of the world.
I interned with Creative Migration for 3 months, and I loved every aspect of my experience working there. Creative Migration has a brilliant and unique mission for a great cause that opened me to a completely new world that intersected between the arts and non-profits; I gained so much insight in different ways on how to run a non-profit organization at an international level . I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend and participate in exciting events as well as connect with various people from across the globe. Susannah and Jasmin are amazing, inspiring, and such humble people to work with - I couldn't have asked for better mentors! Will truly cherish this experience as it helped me grow both professionally and personally.
I've been incredibly impressed with Creative Migration's ability to flexibly respond to opportunities that align with it's core values - promoting creative connections and sustainability. Most of all, it's core team pays detailed regard to the individual artistic personalities that it works with on each respective project; from my insights as a volunteer, its Director's great strength lies in incorporating her personal artistic passion to skillfully bring people together and facilitate new collaborations.
I started working with Creative Migration since its early days and it turns out not only a pleasant period but also a great learning and exploring experience I have seldom had in other fields. To working on a non-profit in California, especially during the financial down time, is not an easy task. But to many's surprise, we could often find enterpreneurship, energy and optimism in CM organization and its partners and friends. It is not blind optimism but, based on my observation over the years, reflects that people engaged with CM are clear about its mission and where the projects will lead to: self-discovery, innovation, fun, reflection - all the inspiring and enlightening (someitmes sharp) things one should/could find in arts and life, despite various kind of external difficulties. I have to admit that has encouraged me personally, and thus decided to be a part of it for its future growth
I love CM's mission and they way they bring people together for an important cause, quite possibly the most important cause of our time. Bridging the gap between artists and viewers CM makes sustainability accessible. I am a big fan of their events and have been a supporter for years. They are amazing to work with and I am excited to see what is in store for the future.
As a sustainability professional, the entertainment industry has a bit of a way to go, from my perspective. Creative Migration (CM) is an important non-profit and is structured to change this. Not only does CM make all of its films as sustainable as possible, but also has a mission to educate the public and make a real change in this industry. It even has events that are carbon neutral. Creative Migration’s work is on the international stage collaborating effectively with other, I strongly feel this non-profit it is making a difference.
As a lover of modern art, and someone that has observed the positive affect of street art on the public consicousness, I hold in high esteem the challenge Creative Migration has set itself to harness the power of art for the good of the environment. People are trying in so many ways to raise awareness of the harm being done by humankind globaly, so much so that we hear about global warming and enviromental pollution everyday; so often in fact, that we may become numb to the message. Creative Migration is unique in that it provides the artictic slap needed to shake us up, have us react, and ultimately motivate us not to give up the fight. Keep up the good work!
Coming into contact with Creative Migration has deeply affected the way I approach making artwork.
Their merging of artistry with social conscience is a real source of inspiration. Creative Migration's direct and passionate approach to storytelling brings their principals down to earth in a way that is deeply empowering.
I discovered Creative Migration through Open Engagement at Portland State University when studying social practice. Creative Migration has a very unique take on using art mediums through sharing knowledge on events and places in the world.
I volunteered for Creative Migration as a video editor of their recent documentary, Post New Bills: The Story of Green Patriot Posters. I immediately fell in love with the project and ended up giving over 100 hours of my time for free in order to complete the film. I am impressed at the detail and dedication the organization outputs when it comes to sustainably completely projects, especially making films. They are doing a great service to the world by spreading awareness about global climate change and setting a great example for all filmmakers who wish to tell their stories sustainably.
I began interning with Creative Migration this year and have loved every moment of it. I've also been inspired to promote and practice more sustainable filmmaking methods as a direct result of my involvement with CM. It's great to be part of such a wide-reaching movement and to be aware of the impact of art on social change.
Serving on the Board of Directors for this Nonprofit has been a deeply gratifying experience for me. Creative Migration's focus on sustainable filmmaking practices and outreach to the community creates an interactive and open environment conducive to creating change.
The sense of community and teamwork that surround Creative Migration is contagious. I'm continually impressed at the range and scope of CM's vision and action. The organization seems to keep growing beyond boundaries, including international, media, and the overall overlap of sustainability and artistic expression.
Creative Migration's vision and mission is incredibly valuable. Their inspired use of media and storytelling to spread ideas about sustainability can value communities everywhere. I have attended several of their events and, each time, am grateful to come away with new insight into the intersection of art, social engagement & sustainability.
I have been serving on Creative Migration's board since it was founded in 2005. It has been a wonderful experience to help build the organization to its current level.
My involvement with Creative Migration has given me invaluable insight on how an independently-run non profit executes international initiatives. Through documentaries, social media and community events, I have seen Creative Migration build grow and expand their reach to all types of influentials and hope I can continue to see them achieve their dreams.
