‘Friday Foster. Icona pop’ (Friday Foster. Pop Icon)

A panel discussion moderated by Àlex Mitrani with Júlia Llull, feminist activist and PhD in Image Theory, and Lilianna Marín, editor, bookseller and cultural manager, to discover Friday Foster, the character who became the first Black woman to headline a syndicated comic strip in the 1970s. At that time, only five years had passed since Black women were finally allowed to vote and drive throughout the country, and in this context the character was completely ground-breaking. The strip was censored in southern newspapers for depicting a Black woman, while northern papers were uncomfortable with the female character striving for professional success and emotional independence in a society that was still very conservative.
