Consulting
Creative Migration continued its partnership with the Hollywood Climate Summit for the 2023 event. Taking place in Los Angeles, California, the event had both in-person and digital only tickets allowing anyone in the world to follow along with each day’s events online.
s an advisory board member of the Hollywood Climate Summit, I realize the importance of leveraging Hollywood and culture to create action around solving the climate crisis. The Hollywood Climate Summit is an event of panels, workshops, activations and parties that not only celebrate our community but bring us together to build a better future for all!
This year’s conference included panels with highly influential figures, such as Jane Fonda and the Oscar-winning team from Everything Everywhere All At Once. Some of the topics included: climate fashion trends, sustainable production, the creation change through social media, intergenerational conversations, decolonization of climate storytelling, disability representation in climate storytelling.

Creative Migration is sharing interesting stories of women pushing back against gender inequality. This includes deconstructing societal norms like toxic masculinity that only create more polarization.
N-Peace is a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) flagship initiative founded in 2010 to commemorate a decade of UNSCR 1325 implementation via the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Currently unique to the Asia-Pacific region, N-Peace or “Engage for Equality, Access, Community and Empowerment” operates in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philippines and Nepal, with the goal of implementing UNSCR 1325, and enhancing the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.

From November 2020 through March 2021, Creative Migration introduced collaborative and creative work from UNDP Asia-Pacific in order to start conversations, shift perspectives and inspire action!
To amplify the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we designed the 2020 Gender Equality Dispatch.
It’s more relevant than ever to develop creative solutions to collective trauma. Art and culture help us work through these issues in the most innovative and universal ways. A good example is a community-driven pilot program in Bhutan (p. 22) that tackles unhealthy social norms, attitudes and behavior that lead to Gender-Based Violence (or GBV). These sessions provide a safe space for teenagers to express themselves frankly and freely, in order to work through a myriad of pressures and issues. In short, this art + social practice approach provides this new generation of future leaders the time and space to acquire new skills in order to build a life free from violence and inequality.
Fiscal Sponsorship
In 2011, Creative Migration supported artist Zefrey Throwell as the fiscal sponsor for a contribution through Open Society Foundations Matching Gifts Program.
In his documentary "Bumi-Yorker", Zefrey Throwell explores identity questions in two of the most diverse places in the world, Malaysia and New York City. In Malaysia, it focused on what it means to be a Malaysian and the notion of Bumiputera (son of the soil). In NYC, the project tackled the eternally disputed question of what it means to be a New Yorker.
Weaving these two subjects together it draw parallels and contrasts in contemporary politics, economics and social issues, as well as investigating what it means to call a place home.
D.N.A
In 2015, Creative Migration supported the D.N.A. as its fiscal sponsor to continue its efforts and to plant parkway strips with fruit trees. The long-term goal is to transform Del Aire into a place where anyone can walk down the street and simply pick fruit from the trees.
Del Aire Neighborhood Association (D.N.A.) planned to beautify their neighborhood by furthering an environmental, art project started in 2012 by Fallen Fruit. In lieu of a painting or a statue, these artists opted to plant a producing, fruit orchard in Del Aire’s neighborhood park. The spirit of this collaboration is to grow food and engage the community.
Comissioned by the Los Angeles County Department of Cultural Affairs, D.N.A. worked with the Department of Public Works to tear up the paved, median strips on its surrounding main boulevards, and replace the asphalt with native (water-sipping) plants and trees to create a beautiful and sustainable greenway.
Ghost was a video and performance art series that takes place in Bangkok, Thailand. The first of the series was curator by Ghost co-founder Korakrit Arunanondchai in 2018. In 2022, curator Christina Li organized Ghost 2565, which highlighted untold stories of figures and places caught in the chasms created by the incohesion and tensions of contemporary life. A response to the specific context of Bangkok, Ghost 2565 assembled multivalent presents, pasts, and futures that attempt to define a phantasmagorial city in resistance to homogenous narratives.
Ghost 2565: Live Without Dead Timeis made possible with the financial support of Bangkok 1899; British Council; CMFWORKS; ECCA Family Foundation; Flanders State of the Art; Japan Foundation, Bangkok; Han Nefkens Foundation; and SAM Fund for Arts and Ecology.
Ghost is organized by the founding organization Ghost Foundation. Venue partners for Ghost 2565: Live Without Dead Time are Baan Trok Tua Ngork, BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY, FAAMAI Digital Arts Hub, Jim Thompson Art Center, Nova Contemporary, Dr. Thaworn Phornprapha Auditorium, and World Travel Service.

Wilderness
Creative Migration was a financial sponsor who helped to bring the live performance by Wilderness, “Our Country,” to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018.
Our Country: The Antigone Project
Sophocles’ Antigone acts as a provocation for this autobiographical unearthing, based on recorded conversations between the artist and her younger brother—a citizen of the still-Wild West, California’s marijuana country. Recalling a time when we were little—as siblings, as a nation, as a democratic system—Our Country interlaces origin mythologies from the Wild West and Ancient Greece with psychoanalytic theory and childhood memories.
Wilderness
The Wilderness is a theatre company who works internationally to push the envelope of the traditional theatre-going experience. Inspired by disused, unexplored and uninhabited spaces, we create immersive, experiential and interdisciplinary theatrical events that disrupt the boundaries between observer and observed.
