This online event is inspired by and is a contribution of Serbia to the celebration of UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage — an occasion to raise general awareness of the need to take urgent measures and to acknowledge the importance of audiovisual documents. As this year’s topic A Window to the World suggests (https://www.ccaaa.org/WDAVH2021), the idea is to show how sound and audiovisual heritage is approached in different European ethnomusicological and archival contexts, to trace its perspectives, but also to give voice to the material of the past.
The host of this event, the Institute of Musicology SASA, has had considerable results in field recording of audio material since its establishment (in 1948), and holds the oldest documentary sound carriers in Serbia (wax plates, wire reels, reel tapes) which have been digitized. This material contains precious data about folk (vocal, instrumental, vocal-instrumental) and Orthodox church music from the areas of former Yugoslavia.
