Fifty years later, it remains a key piece for understanding the social and cultural transformation brought about by the Blaxploitation movement in a country marked by racial conflicts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Longaron, who was only in New York once, captured the America of dreams in his art, of film and television, glamour and seduction, hiding the conflicts and inequalities. The character Longaron created with his nimble, dynamic lines became a new legend in the Black Power movement.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This small-format exhibition is a continuation of the work under way to preserve the history and recognise the value of comics as an art genre. Through this exhibition, the Museum continues exploring its commitment to safeguarding the rich history of comics, highlighting the lasting impact characters like Friday Foster have had on popular culture.<\/div>\n\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/article>\n                        <div\n            class=\"col-span-full md:col-span-6 order-1  md:order-2 md:col-end-13 \">\n            <figure class=\"sticky w-full overflow-hidden top-36 aspect-square\">\n              <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1355\" src=\"https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC.jpg\" class=\"cover\" alt=\"Tira de Friday Foster de Jordi Longaron\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canal.museunacional.cat\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tira_FridayFoster_MNAC-1536x1084.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\n            <\/figure>\n          <\/div>\n              \n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section\n    class=\"flex flex-col gap-6 py-6 overflow-x-hidden border-t border-gray-400 md:gap-12 md:py-12 container-fluid\">\n          <h3 class=\"text-2xl font-medium md:text-5xl\">Don\u2019t miss&#8230;<\/h3>\n    \n              \n      <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":1586,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","museu_category":[52],"theme_category":[],"class_list":["post-3319","museu","type-museu","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","museu_category-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.6 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Longaron and Friday Foster.
