"Tune in Screening: Psychedelic Moving Images from Socialist Yugoslavia" Exhibition

Stephan Stoyanov Gallery

This event has ended.

The "Tune in Screening" program focuses on film production and popular music created in Yugoslavia from mid 60s to mid 70s. It presents a variety of materials, predominantly a 75-minute loop of experimental film and rock music that exemplify the openness and permissiveness of Yugoslavia's brand of socialism when incorporating culture from the capitalist West. The Tune in Screening program demonstrates how imports from the West had a profound effect on the local society, arts and, especially, the public visibility of this psychedelic lifestyle and popular culture.
