It’s a wrap for the Cheyenne River Youth Project’s 11th Annual RedCan Invitational Graffiti Jam

EAGLE BUTTE – The Cheyenne River Youth Project’s 11th Annual RedCan Invitational Graffiti Jam wrapped up on Saturday, July 12. Cheyenne River community members of all ages gathered in CRYP’s Waniyetu Wowapi (Winter Count) Art Park with this year’s nine headlining graffiti and street artists, teen interns, Lakota Art Fellows, staff members and volunteers from across the country for an evening of great food, music and dancing.

ARTISTS:

Returning artists include Cyfi, a Yaqui and Azteca artist from Minneapolis; 179, a Latine artist from Seattle; Hoka, an artist of Oneida, Oglala Lakota and La Jolla Band of Luiseño descent from Albuquerque;

TamiJoy, a Cheyenne River Lakota artist; Minneapolis-based artists Biafra and Wundr; and Amp, a Ponca artist from Kansas.

Joining RedCan for the first time is Lady Rise, P’urhépecha from Michoacán, México. Born in California to a family of migrant farmers and raised amid the Chicago graffiti art scene, the artist currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

CRYP also has announced a second new RedCan artist: J.Duh, a Nicaragüense artist and muralist from San José in California’s Bay Area. For more than a decade, he has painted murals, created traditional hand-painted signs and designed public artwork across the West Coast.

GUEST PERFORMERS:

Guest performers for 2025 include Cheyenne River Lakota storyteller Taté Walker; Cheyenne River Lakota and Crow Creek Dakota rap artist, producer and sound designer Bazille; and renowned Mvskoke Creek/Seneca hoop dancers The Sampson Bros.

As always, the Cheyenne River-based Wakinyan Maza drum group will begin and end each day with songs and a blessing.
