Mundo Meza

[4] Mundo played a pivotal role in the emergence of Chicano conceptualists which included Robert Legorreta (Cyclona), Joey Terrill, Teddy Sandoval, Jack Vargas and members of the collective Asco led by Harry Gamboa, Jr., Gronk, Willie Herrón, and Patssi Valdez.

He performed, with his long time partner Carlos “Charles” Docando for the opening of the King Tut exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in March 1978.

[9] In the early 1980s, Meza collaborated with British designer Simon Doonan, producing surreal and shocking window displays for Maxfield Bleu in West Hollywood and other Melrose Avenue boutiques.

Organized by the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives at the University of Southern California Libraries, the exhibition takes its name from Meza's work and focuses on queer, Chicanx artists and their collaborations from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.

[16] Co-curators C. Ondine Chavoya and David Evans Frantz worked for four years, on behalf of the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives at the University of Southern California to assemble and research the collection for the exhibition, spending time in Mexico, Spain, and England.
