Bangkok Underwater: Climate Storytelling

​In 2018, a Thai student film imagined Bangkok's next great flood in 2032; this September, all 50 districts were declared disaster zones.

  • ​Director of Bangkok 2032 and co-founder of neo-baannok, a community-based creative project exploring social and environmental issues through film, music, events and storytelling

​Bangkok Underwater aims to leave participants with a sense of optimism and environmental agency, as they learn how to critically consume climate media engage more ethically with journalism, literature, and the arts.

​With moderators Prae Piromya (C.R.E.A.T.E.), Caderyn Owen Jones (Global Shapers Bangkok) and Bamm Kittikasemsak (what a WHY), and a mini-gallery of climate work to wander before the program begins.
