About us
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) ignites cultural change for a more inclusive and artistic world. BAMPFA has been uniquely dedicated to art and film since 1970, with international programming that is locally connected and globally relevant. It holds more than 25,000 artworks and 18,000 films and videos in its collection, with particular strengths in modern and contemporary art and historical Chinese painting, as well as the world’s largest collection of African American quilts. As part of the University of California, Berkeley, BAMPFA is committed to artistic diversity through its robust slate of art exhibitions, film screenings, artist talks, live performances, and educational programs that shed new light on the art of the past and connect our audiences with leading filmmakers and artists of our time. BAMPFA sits on the edge of campus and downtown Berkeley, where it welcomes visitors from across and beyond the Bay Area in a repurposed building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

"So maybe if I’d never seen 'Satantango' at BAMPFA, 'The Underground Railroad' wouldn’t exist." Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins is set to present his Prime Video series “The Underground Railroad” during a marathon weekend at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive which includes a screening of “The Gaze,” a short film Jenkins made on the show’s set. Read this San Francisco Chronicle interview where he talks about favorite local haunts and his early inspiration as a filmmaker at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. #filmmakers #inperson #barryjenkins

"But art has powers too, it’s just that the power is super intimate and delicate. Can I make you feel something you may have been resistant to feel? Can I unsettle an opinion you hold so you walk away pondering it over again? If I can do that to one person, I’m doing a lot." Feb. 8-11: Three chances to experience Cauleen Smith's work + post-screening conversations—this week at BAMPFA! #cauleensmith #artistinterview #inpersonevents #filmscreening

On view at #BAMPFA through February 25! Duane Linklater’s (Omaskêko Cree) exhibition mymothersside, organized by the Frye Art Museum in Seattle and presented at MCA Chicago, probes and dismantles colonial legacies of oppression ensconced within museums, looking at their historic and contemporary modes of operation and the ways in which they have harmed and continue to harm Indigenous peoples.

Thanks to KQED Arts for the feature! Opening at #BAMPFA on October 7 with a free community day, 'Duane Linklater: mymothersside' marks the Omaskêko Ininiwak artist’s first major survey. Challenging the way museums exclude, exhibit and contextualize Indigenous people and their art, Linklater creates work across a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, video and digital versions of tribal objects. Public events like a live score for a silent film, dances in response to the exhibited work, and a free community day just before Indigenous People’s Day further demonstrate the expansive possibilities represented by Linklater’s work, which refuses reduction — of people, art or histories. #comingsoon #fallpreview #exhibition2023
