[POSTPONED to March 10] Artist Talk by Jeremy Dennis | Persisting on the Land: Indigenous Time, Place, and Contemporary Counter-Narratives

The Grey Art Museum and Center CIRCL present a talk by artist and curator Jeremy Dennis that situates his practice within broader Indigenous frameworks of time, place, and persistence. As a member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Dennis foregrounds land as a living archive in his work, challenging colonial narratives that frame Indigenous presence as historical rather than ongoing. In conversation with the visual expressions of ancestral continuity in Papunya Tula paintings, Dennis examines how contemporary Indigenous artists maintain relationships to place despite centuries of dispossession and imposed erasure, as well as how their work articulates ideas of time that defy colonial occupation and linear historical models.
