Station Sessions: Satta
- Text by Shelley Jones
For our first episode in the Station Sessions series – live dispatches from our Pop Pop Pop pop-up gallery/shop in Old Street station featuring Satta, Puck Collective and The Photocopy Club – we catch up with Joe Lauder from Satta.
Station Sessions are ten-minute conversations with creatives hosted at Pop Pop Pop and broadcast through the Huck website. Tackling contemporary questions like, ‘What’s selling out?’ and giving advice to young upstarts looking to get into the game, Station Sessions will deliver quick, insightful lunchtime digests to your desktop.
Pop Pop Pop brings three strands of Huck magazine’s interests to life – photography, craft, and illustration – and is a six-day celebration of DIY culture in the belly of one of London’s busiest Underground stations, Old Street, Shoreditch.
Huck will also host a launch party at Pop Pop Pop on Thursday May 22 to celebrate our newest issue, Huck 44, featuring Tommy Guerrero on the cover, and to enjoy the installations over some White Russians courtesy of Jimmy’s Iced Coffee.
You can sign up for the launch party on the 71a Eventbrite.
