In 2011, she obtained a master's degree from the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos where she is a professor; she coordinates programs and content for the Painting Section of the Faculty of Visual Arts.

During the decade of the seventies, her work began to reflect what it meant to be a woman in Mexico during this time, and the social conditions she had to undergo.

[7] In 1981, she participated as curator in the first exhibition of contemporary Mexican women artists that took place in the "Künstlerhaus Bethanien" in Western Berlin.

[6][8] She has also experimented the electronic media of Digital Art in Latin America, as well as painting, ceramics and animation projects.

Lara has also collaborated in collective projects such as The Age of Discrepancy: Art and Visual Culture of Mexico 1968-1997, which took place at the University Museum of Science and Arts (MUCA Campus), (2007); as well as A Possible Day, in collaboration with Javier Torres Maldonado, at La Muse en circuit [fr], Centre National de Création Musicale in Paris, (2011), among others.

The views of Argentina's Patagonia region replicate landscapes from the artist's own life: her widowhood and motherhood, as well as the passing of her father and siblings.

In animation, the different shapes and compositions seem to move as they are presented in a sequence and in shots that turn and are juxtaposed, while the accompanying music provides the rhythm for the motion.

I Don't Remember (original title No Me Acuerdo) is an animation of the photographs Magali Lara made of herself as she drew them.

[7] The music in the animation (Javier Torres Maldonado) represents the internal voices of a female character engaged in an activity as banal as leaving work and returning home.

Lara's style has been acclaimed for its uniqueness, one critic has written that her work "is unmistakable and, as is obvious, persists in technically refining and polishing certain thematic aspects, but it is very curious to see that evolutionary process develop within the universe that she has long believed.

Her work has been influenced by her personal experiences as a woman in the 1970s feminist movements in Mexico and wider Latin American region.
