It’s your last week to see #FoundinTranslation! We created a self-guided driving tour that connects the dots between the exhibition and L.A. county through a few key sites. Link in bio ?#LACMAEverywhere ?

Commissioned by Pan American National Bank, the first Latino-owned bank in California, the mural "Our Past, Our Present, and Our Future" (1966) has inspired the work of many Chicano artists. The board of directors had selected the renowned Mexican artist José Reyes Meza to create images that would instill pride in the East Los Angeles community. Executed in mosaic glass by Byzantine Studios in Cuernavaca, the mural features pre-Hispanic imagery as well as heroic figures. ? Artist Don Juan/Johnny D. González saw this mural as a call to action. With his brother José Luis and fellow artist David Botello, González founded one of the first Chicano arts organizations in East Los Angeles. Their commercial gallery, exhibition space, and school—variously known as TELASOMAFA, Goez Imports and Fine Arts, and the Goez Art Studios and Gallery—was located just three blocks down First Street from the Pan American National Bank. ? Reyes Meza’s mural inspired Johnny to propose an ambitious redesign of the neighboring First Street Store, featuring arches similar to those framing the bank mural and columns modeled after those at Mission San Gabriel. Building on the themes and imagery of “Our Past, Our Present, and Our Future,” González, Botello, and artist Robert Arenivar developed “The Story of Our Struggle,” tracing an epic history of Chicanos from the pre-Hispanic period through the future. ? First Street Store closed in 2007, and a new school, Alliance Morgan Mckinzie, was built at the site, integrating the original 18 mural panels of "The Story of Our Struggle.” ?Don Juan/Johnny D.
