Solidarité OSPAAAL 1972

This striking poster from 1972, designed by the artist Mivio, is a powerful graphic statement in support of international solidarity during one of the most turbulent geopolitical eras of the 20th century. Featuring minimalist design and bold symbolism, it encapsulates the urgency and clarity of anti-imperialist resistance movements of the time.

At the center of the composition, a yellow bomb is halted mid-fall by an abstract mesh of black geometric forms—symbolizing collective resistance. Radiating from this net are the words “solidarity” rendered in multiple languages, including French, English, Spanish, and Arabic, emphasizing the universal and multilingual call for unity across continents and cultures.

Below, a red-and-blue flag bearing two golden stars unmistakably echoes the flag of the National Liberation Front (NLF)—better known as the Viet Cong—a key force in the Vietnam War supported by North Vietnam. The appearance of this flag transforms the message of the poster into a clear act of political alignment with Vietnam's struggle against U.S. military intervention, and more broadly with revolutionary movements seeking independence and self-determination.

Published by OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America), this poster is more than a political statement—it’s a transnational symbol of resistance, created during a time when posters like this were distributed globally to support oppressed peoples and challenge imperialism.

A rare and highly collectible artifact of Cold War-era activism, this piece not only reflects a moment in time, but also serves as an enduring visual expression of solidarity, resistance, and global revolutionary spirit.
