Broad Underground: Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild]
Broad Underground is an ongoing collaboration between the MSU Broad Art Museum and the MSU Film Studies Program, Department of English, that presents experimental film, video, and new media, and encourages conversation around the topics featured.
Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026), directed by Adam and Zack Khalil (Ojibway) documents the emotional and vital work of MACPRA (Michigan Anishinaabek Cultural Preservation and Repatriation Alliance). This alliance, made up of repatriation specialists representing all Michigan tribes, fights to bring their Ancestors and funerary objects home from settler colonial institutions like museums, libraries, and archives.
We’d love to see you at this event!
Presented in collaboration with the MSU Museum, which is featured in the film.
