Biographical / Historical

Amalia Mesa-Bains is a Chicana curator, author, artist, and educator best known for her installation pieces referencing home altars and ofrendas, as well as for her activism in the art world. She was born Maxine Amalia Mesa to Mexican immigrants Lawrence Escobedo Mesa and Marina Gonzales Mesa in Santa Clara, California on July 10, 1943. She received a B.A. in painting from San Jose State University in 1966, an M.A in interdisciplinary education from San Francisco State University in 1971, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in 1980 and 1983, respectively. Her dissertation was a study about the "Influence of Culture on the Identity of Ten Chicana Artists."
She worked in the San Francisco Unified School District for twenty years, first as a teacher of bilingual, ESL and multicultural education, then as a project manager for the Division for Integration, before becoming a research associate at Far West Laboratory and producing two books on the case-based approach to teaching. She is a former Commissioner of Arts for the City of San Francisco and has served on the Board of Directors and Advisory Boards for such organizations as the Galeria de la Raza, where she also developed the (Re)Generation program, the Mexican Museum, the Yerba Buena Cultural Center, the New Press, and others.
In 1992, Amalia Mesa-Bains was awarded a MacArthur fellowship, the first Chicana artist to be so honored.
She married Richard Bains, then an aspiring rock musician and housing activist with the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), in 1966. He was the San Francisco Symphony's education director from 1987 to 1995, when Judy Baca brought them on to help develop California State University Monterey Bay, which opened in 1995. Both Amalia and Richard are considered founding faculty for the university, with Richard involved in the Department of Music and Amalia in the Visual and Public Art Department. She chaired it for eight years and is now a Professor Emerita.
Her first exhibit was for the 1967 Phelan Awards at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. She began creating altar installations in 1975, this first being dedicated to Frida Kahlo. Her first solo exhibition was Grotto of the Virgins in 1987 at the INTAR Latin American Gallery, featuring altars to Dolores del Rio, Frida Kahlo, and Amalia's grandmother. Since then, she has curated and been exhibited at a multitude of venues. Her Ofrenda for Dolores del Rio, first exhibited in 1984 and then revised in 1991, was acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 1998. She had initially intended for her altars to be purely ephemeral, but began to rethink this approach when she considered the significance of her art and its impact on the community. She wanted her work to become more accessible and visible to more people.
Adapted primarily from Wikipedia; Durón, Maximilíano. "How to Altar the World: Amalia Mesa-Bains's Art Shifts the Way We See Art History." ARTnews, 2018; and CSUMB founding faculty oral history interviews.

Subseries 2.1. Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation (CARA) 1987-1993

Biographical / Historical

Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation (CARA) was a traveling exhibit of Chicanx artists that toured the United States from 1990 to 1993. It was a joint effort between the Wight Art Gallery at the University of California, Los Angeles and the CARA National Advisory Committee. It was significant both for being the first exhibit resulting from collaboration between Chicanos and major American museums, and for receiving a much greater amount of national press coverage than previous Chicano art exhibitions. Amalia Mesa-Bains was the regional committee chair of Northern California for this project.
