THE CAMPUS

Denniston Hill honors the Esopus people of Lenapehoking, whose ancestral lands include the grounds where we live and work. Our campus, which includes the Farmhouse, Studios, and surrounding land, is part of a landscape shaped by generations of care, creativity, and resistance. We recognize the Esopus people's ongoing relationship to this place and carry the responsibility to steward it with respect, reciprocity, and intention.

We also acknowledge the layered histories held in this land. It bears the weight of Indigenous dispossession, enslavement, migration, and survival. We honor our ancestors and theirs, recognizing the intertwined legacies of colonialism that continue to shape our present.

This land is alive. It nourishes our practices and calls us to move through it with care, accountability, and imagination.
