Creative Migration

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. Our programming is defined through three primary strands: Artist Residencies & Creative Hubs, Site-specific Installations and Transmedia Projects.

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 Motor Company Fund. Since 2011, our nonprofit has employed environmentally regenerative practices throughout our projects and day-to-day operations. Creative Migration, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States founded and Creative Migration (East) is a registered foundation in the Kingdom of Thailand.
