The 2 Rivers Remix Society and Virtual Feast will present a three-day online gathering this Friday to Sunday (October 15 to 17).

The event, titled Remix 2 Resilience: The Confluence, brings together a diverse group of Indigenous musicians, academics, and cultural organizers to put on daily keynotes, workshops, panels, and artist showcases under the themes of Stories, Language, and Land.

“So much has occurred in a short period of time that has affected all of us on such an intense level," says 2RRS artistic director Meeka Noelle Morgan in a press release,  "--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. 

"We become the stream inside the dream," adds Morgan, "gathering at the confluence, collecting to what connects us all.”

Morgan will be participating in the gathering alongside other Indigenous artists and speakers such as Janet Marie Rogers, Ecko Aleck, Butterflies in Spirit, Leela Gilday, Melawmen Collective, and Willie Thrasher.

Keynote storytellers will be Kinnie Starr, Kevin Loring, and ShoShona Kish.
