TK’EMLUPS TE SECWEPEMC — Lytton-based 2 Rivers Remix Society was created to uplift contemporary Indigenous performers. Wednesday (July 6), it will take over Tk’emlups Powwow Arbour to host well-known, Juno-award winning artists alongside local musicians and artists.

“Snotty Nose Rez Kids and DJ Chub will be there, at the same night headlining the same show, but we also have some really incredible regional performers,” said 2 Rivers Remix artistic director Meeka Morgan.

“We have… the Margit Sky Project, Rod Bandura, Kym Gouchie from the Okanagan territory, Hasaatuk from the Nuu Chah Nulth territory and Ta’kaiya Blaney, who’s a performer and an activist.”

The festival will also feature food trucks, vendors and face-painting.

2 Rivers Remix keeps all of its events free, making sure that cost is never a barrier to accessing Indigenous art.

“We wanted it to be really accessible so we ensure that all our events are free,” said Morgan.

“We also have a lot of representation from women, survivor artists as well as LGBTQ [artists]. We really try to create a space of tolerance, safety, love and value.”

If you can’t make it to Wednesday’s festival, it is putting on another festival July 8 to 10 in Cache Creek.
