Reposted from @settlement_uk A settlement is an official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict. It is also a previously “uninhabited” place where people establish a community. These two terms come together to inform a project that questions the appropriateness of both. Situated within Mayflower 400, a massive cultural festival remembering the historic voyage of the Mayflower, ‘Settlement’ reasserts the presence and perspectives of contemporary people Indigenous to various tribal nations throughout North America and into the Pacific. ‘Settlement’ is designed as a creative response and reclaiming of public space to consider the impacts of colonisation on a diverse number of tribal nations who continue to thrive despite its long term effects. ‘Settlement’ creates space and time to address questions and traumas through contemporary artworks and engagement while also presenting a radical and complex living example of Indigenous resilience and intersection. The Settlement project goes beyond conversations of Decolonisation and historical trauma by presenting vibrant and evolving contemporary art & culture while actively practicing Indigenization. Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger has invited artists from various North American tribal nations and into the Pacific region to join in Settlement. Each invited artist is developing work that explores colonialism and its effects on Indigenous people beyond first contact, working with Luger and other Settlement artists over the course of a year to develop and produce their ideas. Engaging for one-week intervals throughout the project’s month-long run, the artists will overlap with Luger and several others so as to live and work together on-site in a large-scale installation of public art at Pounds House, Central Park, Plymouth, UK. #settlementuk #settlement2020 Artwork credit: @jeremynative – #regrann 
Spirit is an initiative designed to educate the public, through lens-based art, regarding the true history of indigenous people and recruit advocates for indigenous issues everywhere, but with a specific focus on the US and Canada, where native lands and people аre still coming under attack everyday.The objective is to bring indigenous artists and issues to the forefront in a very powerful way. Create awareness and support for indigenous art, artists and issues locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.Collectively, this exhibition offers a partial glimpse, rather than a sweeping overview, of the many complex issues that indigenous people navigate as part of their lived realities.It also reflects, in some part, the intricate nature of indigenous identity. These nine artists have created images that reveal expressions of pain, resiliency, resistance, healing, tradition, and celebration.Jeremy Dennis: Nothing Happened Here illustrates the shared trauma of living on indigenous lands without rectification. Reflecting upon his experiences and observations in his community on the Shinnecock Reservation in Southampton, New York, Dennis illustrates the burden of loss of culture through assimilation, omission of Native history, loss of land, and resulting economic disadvantage.Thanks to @donnagarcia23 @lenscratch @acpfest You can visit the online exhibit here:https://www.equaldignity.org/spirit-exhibition

In his work, he explores indigenous identity, culture, and assimilation. Dennis holds an MFA from Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, and a BA in Studio Art from Stony Brook University, NY. In his work, he explores indigenous identity, cultural assimilation, and the ancestral traditional practices of his community, the Shinnecock Indian Nation. Dennis' work is a means of examining his identity and the identity of his community, specifically the unique experience of living on a sovereign Indian reservation and the problems they face. He currently lives and works in Southampton, New York on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation. ️️️ For Settlement, Dennis will work on an installation based on his ancestry and connection to Plymouth history in New England. Dennis will be engaging for Settlement week one, July 6-12, following a day long engagement in Central Park hosted by the Wampanoag Nation to open Settlement on July 5th. Follow the work of Jeremy Dennis @jeremynative ️️️ Settlement is a Native American-led performative encampment in which over 27 acclaimed Indigenous artists from across North America will activate Pounds House and surrounding grounds in Plymouth’s Central Park, UK from July 6 – August 2, 2020.
