The Making of America Film Premiere & Gallery Reception

Overview

Directed by Monique Linder, and produced by OMG Studios in partnership with MHC, 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, the seventh in the Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery film series from OMG Studios, advances the argument that these outcomes were deliberate consequences of its visual and systemic commitments to order, hierarchy, and control.

Join for a reception with refreshments before and after the film, and to view a collection of stunning works from artists who are supporting the messages of this film through their own artistic voices.

This film is presented in partnership and co-produced with our valued partners at OMG Media Solutions.
