awareness-raising
the politics of
affection
it’s a love thing is a 30-year archive of lgbtqia+ health advocacy, tracing how posters and visual communication have shaped the language of sexual health.
for this exhibition, studio voltaire commissioned four posters to extend the archive, staging a dialogue between past and present.
between the everyday and the poetic, two photographers offer contrasting perspectives on the same subject.
typography is embedded within the photograph, establishing an equal dialogue between text and image without hierarchy.
a cultural record, where sexual health is understood as part of everyday life.
