On The Road

  • Text by HUCK HQ
The Beats Evolution — On The Road: The Beats Evolution traces the development and impact of Beat Culture from the 1950s to the present day.

To mark the launch of Huck 035, we teamed up with Urban Peppers to make a special animation, On the Road: The Beats Evolution.

The film charts the development of Beat-inspired culture from its birth in the 1950s through new generations up to the present day.
