Jeremy Dennis, Artist and Ma's House Founder
About this episode
Jeremy Dennis discusses art, identity, and reclaiming space in a conversation about his work and the importance of inclusivity in the Hamptons.
Esperanza and Irwin welcome Jeremy Dennis for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about art, identity, and reclaiming space. A Shinnecock Indian Nation artist and the founder of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, Dennis shares how his work challenges long-held narratives about the Hamptons while centering Indigenous presence, history, and creativity. In this episode, we explore Dennis’s photography practice, his journey building Ma’s House into a vital cultural hub, and the importance of creating platforms for underrepresented artists. He reflects on storytelling through visual art, the intersections of community and land, and what it means to reshape the cultural landscape of a place so often defined by exclusivity. This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation about visibility, belonging, and the power of art to honor the past while building a more inclusive future.
