Madame Binh Graphics Collective

The Madame Binh Graphics Collective (MBGC) was the propaganda arm affiliated with the May 19th Communist Organization[1] in the United States.

Within a structure of collaborative authorship, the all-women collective made a stylistic range of posters, prints and street art on anti-racist subjects and in support of national liberation movements.

[5] The MBGC was named after Madame Nguyễn Thị Bình, a signatory of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 on behalf of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam.

[6] The historian Lien-Hang Nguyen has argued that the MBGC was one of many US radical left groups which looked to the Vietnamese Revolution as a source of inspiration and solidarity — as an exemplar of a functioning communist politic.

[3] Members included Mary Patten, Laura Whitehorn, Margo Pelletier, Wendy Grossman, Lisa Roth, Eve Rosahn and Donna Borup.
