Panel Discussion: Regeneration — Long Island’s History of Ecological Care at Parrish Art Museum
The Parrish Art Museum is hosting a panel discussion on May 24, 2026, featuring artist Sara Siestreem and members of the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers, moderated by Associate Curator Scout Hutchinson. The conversation celebrates their collaborative work in the exhibition "Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care," which runs through June 14, 2026. The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers, an intergenerational collective of Indigenous women, restore ancestral seaweed harvesting traditions to address water pollution, while Siestreem’s artistic practice incorporates abstract mark making, basket weaving, and Xerox transfers to highlight Indigenous land rights and ecological restoration.
