More colourful, while maintaining a clear and coherent structure.
Continuing with the aesthetic direction outlined in the first issue of BUTU, there was a distinct effort to mix the bold, bright colours and images of streetwear and fashion magazines with the typography and editorial layouts of more high end publications.
There was a decision to make the magazine more colourful whilst still maintaining a clear, coherent structure.
Celebrating the processes behind the work.
Issue 2 of BUTU Magazine launched on the 30th of January 2026 at The Art House in Cambridge Heath, with sponsorship from Jubel Beers. The night featured DJ sets from Blissy E, Lovellious and Immigrant Party. The night was captured by Bec Lewis.
Many of the artists featured in the second issue were present on the night, celebrating their processes.

A cultural platform, artist publication and live event promoter.
From conceptualisation to release, BUTU Magazine Issue 2 was a year long project bringing together a number of different skills and artforms in order to deliver a completed full length publication.
BUTU Mag now serves as a platform for various different ventures - it is equal parts cultural platform, artist publication & live event promoter. Through the work of Yorke and various collaborators, BUTU Mag has been able to facilitate dozens of perspectives in service of creativity.
