*Rewind Yugoslavia 1969-91 : International Conference on Video Art*
*V&A Museum, Dundee, Scotland, 25-26 February, 2027*
*Rewind Yugoslavia 1969-91* is a project focused on video art
production, discussion and consumption from the former Yugoslavia,
funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK). The project is
led by Gray’s School of Art, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, working
in partnership with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design,

This is the latest funded research project in Rewind’s long history of
investigating, examining and preserving early works of video art.

previous projects have included *Rewind: British Artists Video in the
70s & 80s* (2012), *Rewind Italia*(2015), *EWVA- European Womens’ Video
Art* (2019). *Rewind Yugoslavia* is led by Dr. Jonathan Blackwood
(Gray’s School of Art), together with Dr Laura Leuzzi and Dr. Maja Zećo
(Gray’s) and Adam Lockhart (DJCAD, University of Dundee). More
