We become the stream inside the dream, gathering at the confluence, collecting to what connects us all.” With the 2 Rivers Remix Society based out of Nlaka’pamux territory in ‘Q’emcin (aka Lytton), it has been quite the journey to bring this event to life as Artistic Director, Meeka Noelle Morgan explains, “so much has occurred in a short period of time that has affected all of us on such an intense level – the pandemic, the Children that are being un(re)covered at residential schools, the Lytton fire, and all of the trauma that has been compounded by all – that we have had to adapt to our circumstances, press on and continue while bringing that experience into the forefront of our work as well, acknowledging it, bearing witness to it all. The themes of Stories, Language and Land will inform the daily keynotes, workshops, panels and artist showcases. Remix 2 Resilience (R2R) is a three-day online gathering (October 15-17) that brings together Indigenous community representatives with a diverse group of Indigenous musicians, academics and cultural organizers to build networks, deliver resources and facilitate knowledge sharing from across Turtle Island.
