🌯 “Keep searching for that burrito! Never give up. Keep going.” — Sebastian, Age 10 During a school visit to MoMA, students wrote postcards to artist Joey Terrill after learning about his series of three paintings, “Chicanos Invade New York Series.” When Terrill made this work in the early 1980s, he had just moved from Los Angeles, where he grew up, to New York, where the Chicano community was much smaller. “After a couple of months of being in New York City, I started craving tortillas. We searched and couldn't find them anywhere in stores. So I ended up having to make my own tortillas,” the artist reflected. The students sent messages encouraging Terrill and relating his work to their own feelings about loneliness and identity. The Adobe Foundation (Adobe) is proud to support equity, learning, and creativity at MoMA. — [1-6] Postcards from students to Joey Terrill [7] Joey Terrill. “Chicanos Invade New York Series, Three panels: Making Tortillas in Soho; Reading the Local Paper; and Searching for Burritos.” 1981.
