Allegories of a Better World
OMG Studios and the Minnesota Humanities Center are excited to announce the community premiere of their latest film, The Making of America, taking place at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on June 28. This special event features a film screening, a post-screening panel discussion, and an art showcase organized by OMG Media Solutions.
Directed by Monique Linder and produced by OMG Studios in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center, the film explores how Enlightenment-era systems of knowledge—including art, science, architecture, and cartography—produced enduring frameworks for racial slavery, territorial extraction, and Indigenous dispossession in the United States. This production marks the seventh installment in OMG Studios’ “Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery” film series.
“After our last film about Reconstruction, I felt it was important that the next film go back to the very beginning—the making of America. This film really helps tie all the pieces in the ‘Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery’ film series together in a significant way. I’m looking forward to sharing it with others,” said Monique Linder, director of The Making of America.
