Jeremy Dennis, a contemporary fine art photographer and a tribal member of the Shinnecock Nation, provided a restoration in-progress tour of Ma’s House, an old family home on the Shinnecock Reservation in Southampton, NY and discussed its future as a studio for artists of color. Jeremy also talked about his collaborations with both Preservation Long Island and the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum & Education Center.

Watch a recording of the March 26, 2021 tour and conversation.

Jeremy’s grandmother, Loretta Silva, also known as Princess Silva Arrow of the Shinnecock Nation, was affectionately called β€œMa” by her children and grandchildren. Ma had always wanted her house to be an educational museum space, a safe haven for all, and a place where arts and culture bring people together.
