About Creative Migration
Anchored between Bangkok and Los Angeles and rooted in Global Majority perspectives, we connect artists, communities and institutions to build interconnected systems of artistic practice, community knowledge and ecological thinking that enable societies to adapt, reimagine and transform.
[ WHERE WE WORK ]
Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia's most vital creative cities, and one of its most ecologically pressured. Los Angeles is a global center of cultural power and home to one of the largest Thai diaspora communities outside Thailand.
Together, these two cities give Creative Migration a unique position: rooted in the Southeast Asian context, connected to Global North networks and resources. We bring regional perspectives into global conversations and channel visibility and partnerships back.

[ OUR HISTORY ]
Creative Migration was founded in 2005 by our Executive Director, Susannah Tantemsapya, in California. She expanded operations to Thailand in 2018 to open our largest project to date, Bangkok 1899, a cultural & civic hub established through funding from The Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Philanthropy.
