Vănguard was established in 2014 as an underground, transnational zine connecting and uplifting LGBTQ+ Vietnamese creatives around the world through art, literature, and activism. A decade later, Vănguard has evolved into a publishing house and creative production company dedicated to promoting LGBTQ+ and femme Vietnamese artists, and bringing Vietnamese art to the world. Vănguard is exhibited internationally and archived by the Library of Congress.
