Join us for a private tour of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, a communal art space based on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation. The event will feature a conversation with Jeremy Dennis, lead artist, who will share the history of Ma’s House and its residency program for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. In addition to Dennis’ work, you will see “Point of Reference”, the solo exhibition of new works by December resident artist, Jacoub Reyes.

Jeremy Dennis is a contemporary fine art photographer and a tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation. In his work, he explores indigenous identity, culture, and assimilation, and in 2018, he participated in the Parrish Road Show with an exhibition at the Arts Center at Duck Creek, East Hampton. He was one of 10 recipients of a 2016 Dreamstarter Grant from the national non-profit organization Running Strong for American Indian Youth. He was awarded $10,000 to pursue his project, On This Site, which uses photography and an interactive online map to showcase culturally significant Native American sites on Long Island, a topic of special meaning for Dennis, who was raised on the Shinnecock Nation Reservation.
Jacoub Reyes is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Florida. He finds and makes materials and tools as part of an experimental aspect of his process. Reyes salvages and transforms found wood to reflect how marginalized and oppressed communities have been cast aside throughout history. With these, he carves detailed large-scale allegorical woodcuts based on the acculturation of the Caribbean and the world at large. Reyes’ focus on colonization and indigenous peoples has led him to unpack his personal history and share a message he hopes prevents historic recurrences.
“Every conversation of oppression, the intersection of religion and activism, how politics have corrupted and yet propelled countries forward in development are all conversations that have echoed throughout time as culture has shifted, albeit sometimes like a pendulum,” says Reyes, December resident artist.
The event takes place at Ma’s House, located at 159 Old Point Rd, Southampton, NY.
