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. 

Ojos Caribe is a curatorial endeavor and platform which has functioned as an itinerant video screening event since 2022, co-founded by artists and scholars Patricia Encarnación, Yelaine Rodriguez, and Gina Goico. Ojos Caribe showcases moving images created from the Caribbean, insular regions, and its diasporas. While Ojos Caribe looks at the Caribbean region, the platform understands Caribbeanness as an expansive and capacious descriptor that moves beyond geographical and geopolitical coordinates.

This edition of Broad Underground is curated and presented by Patricia Encarnación, in connection with the exhibition Laas / Absan / Peldía: Caribbean Cinema Cultures. On view Aug. 22, 2026–Jan. 31, 2027, Laas / Absan / Peldía: Caribbean Cinema Cultures explores loss, memory, and the evolving meaning of cinema across the Caribbean. 

This program is supported by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
