About Organisation

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 base in Thailand, Bangkok 1899, is a cultural & civic hub that provides vibrant exhibitions and performances through its signature International Artist Residency program. In addition, our partner Na Projects produces social impact programs through Na Cafe including vocational training for at-risk youth and workshops for urban refugees to facilitate their transition to living in Thailand. 

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 Ford Motor Company Fund and The Rockefeller Foundation. Since 2011, our nonprofit has employed environmentally regenerative practices throughout our projects and day-to-day operations, implementing its own Climate Policy to reduce the carbon footprint of all projects and day-to-day operations that it hosts.
