The “live magazine” show is back in Brooklyn for its Spring Issue show with stories and fascinating presentations from filmmakers, photographers and artists including podcast host Tracy Clayton, author and illustrator Kristen Radtke, 2020 Pulitzer Prize finalist Chloé Cooper Jones, writer Brooke Jarvis, author Elena Passarello, photographer Oscar Castillo and filmmaker Adrian L. Burrell. The show at BAM Opera House is sponsored by Chanel and The Botanist Islay Dry Gin.
Like a magazine, each season’s show sequences its segments into a similar progression: A quirky slice-of-life story to break the ice, an often-devastating mid-section and a life-affirming finale. You’re inevitably going to want to talk about some of the stories long after the evening is over, and though the actual performances aren’t recorded, Pop-Up Magazine’s after-show goodnight email will point you in the right direction to find more from each speaker.
