This dissertation explores how Thai artivists (art + activism) use visual and performing arts as a form of creative dissent to spotlight social-political-ecological issues that are otherwise erased or silenced. Climate and extinction crises, air and water pollution, over-extraction of resources, and unsustainable practices threaten the well-being of more-than-human communities around the globe. Born out of the necessity to fight for justice and protect natural and cultural heritage, community members, organizers, and activists experiment with radically creative interventions to call for change. This dissertation expands upon scholarship of Southeast Asian environmentalisms and activisms by illustrating how artists take on roles of archivists, educators, community organizers, and activists and make friendships through their production and circulation of environmentally focused artwork and relational practices. The arts-based research methodology included participant observation, surveys, informal interviews, structured interviews, community-engagement projects, visual analysis, and artistic collaborations. This multimodal dissertation includes an introduction chapter, three articles for submission to journals, a co-curated exhibit at the MSU Broad Art Museum, and multiple public and applied anthropology projects including community engagement workshops and art exhibitions. The introductory chapter describes the research methodology, field sites, key individuals and groups, theories and frameworks from visual anthropology, applied anthropology, community-engaged scholarship, art theory, and political ecology; and provides an overview of the subsequent article manuscripts. The first journal manuscript explores emotional responses to biodiversity loss in Thailand through the story of experimental ethnographic research and artistic collaboration. The second manuscript "Arts-based Research in Anthropology: Lessons from Thailand" examines the forms of knowing afforded by engagement with artists and arts-based methodologies, including research and archiving practices among artists addressing issues of environment and social justice. The third manuscript, "Weaving the Mekong," investigates how textiles tell the story of how climate change and hydropower development are changing long-standing human-environment relationships for a Tai-Lue community living along the Mekong River of northern Thailand, focusing on weaving, a place-based craft-based livelihood, and weavers' adaptations to social, cultural, and ecological change. The dissertation references public and applied anthropology projects that use visual strategies to share research data, including workshops and exhibits focused on environmental art and activism in Thailand and the United States. This includes an upcoming co-curated exhibit, "Mekong Voices: Transnational River Justice in Mainland Southeast Asia," to be held at the MSU Broad Art Museum.
