Future Return
An exhibition in two parts, Future Return curated by Jeremy Dennis brings together beadwork, woodcarving, photography, and Shinnecock written books to share Indigenous stories. Artist and curator Jeremy Dennis creates cinematic images and places of belonging that center BIPOC artists. From Dennis’ artist statement, “nowhere have Indigenous people been more poorly misrepresented than in American movies.” Future Return brings together mediums of art where the creation is to continue their ancestors’ tradition of storytelling and showcase the sanctity of their land. As racial divisions and tensions reach a nationwide fever pitch, it’s more critical to Dennis than ever to offer a complex and compelling representation of Indigenous people.
