BEA TULAGAN is a Filipina multidisciplinary artist, climate justice organizer, and movement strategist.

She is co-founder of the narrative organizing studio, tala storytelling collective.

Her artistic and movement practice explores transience, climate grief, uprisings and care, spanning artistic disciplines from poetry and fiction to durational performances and experience and training design for gatherings. These straddle the personal and/as political, capturing living through the climate crisis, social shocks, and power grabs, and suggest a collective and tender wayfinding towards community, hope, and reclaiming our narratives.

Bea spent the past twelve years in the global climate justice movement as an organizer, non-profit associate director, training designer, and facilitator,  thoroughly inspired by re-energized youth movements, communities on the frontlines fighting against top fossil fuel polluters, Asian ecofeminists, and Global South solidarity.

Bea has conducted international organizing, campaigning, storytelling, narrative strategy, and community care workshops for cross-cultural audiences. Over the years, she has trained and designed gatherings for over a thousand climate justice, gender justice, and human rights activists. She has also guest lectured at universities, international civil society conferences, United Nations events, TV, radio, and podcast programs, and grassroots community-led camps.

She was also a former member of the Philippine National Delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations and was a UNDP Philippines Youth Advocate for Climate Change during COP 20. She was a fellow of Parabukas, FRIDA: The Young Feminist Fund, and Climate Tracker.
