About The Artwork
This limited edition giclée print showcases a bold photograph from Pank Sethi’s campaign poster for ‘It’s a Love Thing’. Held at Studio Voltaire in 2025, the exhibition presents a groundbreaking selection of archival sexual healthcare posters from the Spectra CIC collection, spanning from 1987 to 2015. In response to the archive, artists Jesse Glazzard and Pank Sethi have created two new campaign posters in collaboration with Spectra CIC staff to shed light on these vital histories. ‘It’s a Love Thing’ offers a small window into the sustained efforts of many trailblazing sexual health campaigners, activists, and advocates and provides an important visual history of London’s sexual health services and the key role collaboration between support organisations, artists and creatives has played in sustaining the sexual health landscape over the last thirty years. The project explores what it means to be in a community with one another and the vital conversations and knowledge sharing between LGBTQIA+ people living and loving across time.
