Summary
Across nine days, more than 200 creative programmes explored how Northeast Thailand’s assets could be developed into new possibilities. The festival centred on one key question: how Isan’s cultural capital, natural resources, local wisdom, and creative talent could be transformed into future opportunities.
The festival opened with “Abundance,” or Phrorm-Sap, which looked at the cultural capital, natural resources, and local wisdom already found across the region.
