OMG Studios and Minnesota Humanities Center are excited to announce the premiere of their latest film, “The Making of America,” to be held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art Pillsbury Theater on June 28. The premiere will include a film screening, post-screening panel discussion, and art exhibit. Directed by Monique Linder, and produced by OMG Studios in partnership with Minnesota Humanities Center, the film explores how Enlightenment-era systems of knowledge—art, science, architecture, and cartography—produced enduring frameworks for racial slavery, territorial extraction, and Indigenous dispossession in what became the United States of America. The film is the seventh in the Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery film series from OMG Studios.
