Overview

Founded in 2016, Remix ⟷ Culture’s (RC) mission is to counter cultural erasure by collaboratively documenting and remixing the musical traditions and stories of underrepresented communities. We recognize the systemic barriers BIPOC artists face and believe that investing in them creates a powerful ripple effect: empowering the artists themselves fosters pride within their communities, inspiring the wider world to see them–and other cultures–with greater curiosity and empathy. We believe that by honoring, amplifying, transmitting, and reimagining the ancestral wisdom embedded in musical traditions and stories through innovative and immersive music productions co-created with traditional BIPOC musicians and remix artists, we are shifting the narrative about these communities, building a more vibrant, resilient, and interconnected world, and ‘remixing’ our societies towards more compassion and collective solidarity.
