Creatives for Climate Action - Global

🌱 Introducing the Creatives for Climate Action - Thailand (CCAT) 2024 Toolkit! We are excited to launch the CCAT Toolkit: a comprehensive, easy-to-use and practical guide and database supporting Thailand’s festival and event industry’s green transition. This bilingual resource includes practical self-assessment tools, actionable tips and contact details of partners, such as sustainable vendors, venues, brands and consultants that can help event organizers to reduce their environmental impact. The CCAT Toolkit also aims to facilitate knowledge sharing between European and Thai cultural practitioners to exchange best practices for sustainability. Explore the document to gain practical guidance for every step of your sustainability journey. Discover the toolkit below - use it, share it and let’s accelerate integrating climate action into our work! 🙌 CCAT Toolkit in English: /ccattoolkit2024 CCAT Toolkit in Thai: /ccattoolkit2024thai We are grateful for the CCAT Toolkit 2024 research team @creativemigration , @samuelrubinv , @studioupcircle for producing such an amazing work and a massive thank you for the fantastic design work that makes our vision come to life @sauntr.media CCAT is a project by the European Union National Institutes for Culture in Thailand (EUNIC Cluster Thailand), co-organized with Creative Migration (International Arts Organization) and in collaboration with the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization). #EUNIC # CCAT #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ToolkitForChange #CCAT2024

Looking back on our previous artist-in-residence, Ekaterina Korchagina’s installation for @bangkokdesignweek 2026. “Point of Peace” is a temporary urban oasis by Fall Studio, a landscape architecture and urban design practice founded by Ekaterina, whose work centers on nature-driven design interwoven with artistic expression. In a world of constant chaos and crisis, the installation proposed a space to pause, listen inward, gather together and breathe deeply. Conceived as a contemporary sanctuary in the heart of Bangkok, it offered a moment of clarity within turbulence. A soft circular platform, wrapped in dense native greenery, formed an intimate oasis where people can rest, play and reconnect. Its round form naturally encouraged encounter and dialogue, echoing prehistoric gatherings around the fire. The planting created a protective cocoon that visually and acoustically softened the city, letting noise dissolve into calm. The project directly addressed rising urban temperatures and the escalating waste crisis, asking how a small, reversible intervention can briefly transform a piece of hard infrastructure into a shared refuge while improving the local microclimate. For Point of Peace, Fall Studio investigated urban microclimates, local ecosystems and passive cooling strategies and collaborated with local partners to work with reused materials such as plastic waste and discarded fabrics. Together, these components formed a lightweight, demountable “green room” that left no permanent trace. At its center, the soft circular platform made of recycled materials functioned simultaneously as landscape and furniture: a place to sit, lie down, play, host small events or simply rest in shade and fine mist. By inviting visitors to slow down and share this space with strangers, Point of Peace offered a brief, tangible experience of collective comfort and resilience within the ongoing turbulence of the city. Congratulations on bringing this amazing vision to life Ekaterina! Find out more about Point of Peace on @fall___studio .

Attention Leaves a Trace: Blessing a Young Tree with Vespera Meng An expressive arts intervention inviting visitors to slow down and practice care. Set within a circle of young trees, this work asks a simple question: What changes when attention is offered as a form of care to the more-than-human world? Visitors are invited to spend time with a single tree—observing, noticing, and forming a quiet connection. Afterward, they may leave a written blessing tied gently to the tree, creating a growing archive of care made visible over time. Part reflection, part collective gesture, Attention Leaves a Trace reframes blessing not as belief, but as attention—and invites us to consider how even small acts of care can accumulate meaning. February 7, 2026 16:00 onwards Point of Peace Installation Grand Postal Building, Charoenkrung Rd. This program’s coordination is supported by @creativemigration and @creatives_climateaction . Point of Peace designer Ekaterina Korchagina of @fall___studio is being hosted at @bangkok1899 International Artist Residency.

NOTEP x Bangkok 1899 performance at BKKAW “ S3K: Preserve “ When science, storytelling, and spectacle come together to create a conversation around mangrove restoration. After their first S3K, which explored cultural heritage, faith, and spirituality through Thai traditional music, this new chapter turns toward nature preservation. In S3K: Preserve, they transform environmental data collected in the field, such as, mangrove scans, biodiversity surveys, and water quality reports into immersive visual and sonic expressions that help audiences feel more connected to environmental issues and remind us of our deep bond with nature.
