Creative Migration is a women-of-color-led, international arts organization based in Los Angeles and Bangkok. 

Our mission is to bring together cultural and climate diplomacy with a special focus on collaborative community building through intersectional practices.

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.

Since 2011, our nonprofit has employed environmentally regenerative practices throughout our projects and day-to-day operations. Throughout the years, we have accumulated knowledge and experience to create our organization-wide Climate Policy, which features guidelines and recommendations for all our operations.
