Revolution Remixed 2026
Revolution Remixed was Rewind’s second student-led history project, which ran from January to May 2026 and explored how revolutionary histories can be represented, remembered, and understood through multimedia forms. The project brought together students with an interest in history, creative practice, filmmaking, writing, and design, united by the aim of engaging with the past in new and personal ways.
At the heart of the project was an exploration of themes of revolution and resistance through artistic and cinematic workshops. These sessions gave students the opportunity to move beyond traditional approaches to history, experimenting with creative and innovative ways of interpreting revolutionary moments, movements, and ideas across different periods.
The project resulted in Rewind’s second ever printed publication, featuring articles spanning prehistory and the ancient world through to modern history, alongside creative pieces and reflections from both past and present team members. Together, the work brought diverse perspectives into conversation, demonstrating the many ways revolutionary histories can be reimagined and understood.
All content was shared through Rewind’s Instagram, @rewindprojects, inviting audiences to explore histories of revolution and resistance while discovering new ways to connect the past with the present.
Project Events:
Sip and Paint
On Thursday 26 February, Rewind hosted a Sip and Paint workshop as part of Revolution Remixed. Students came together in a relaxed social setting to discuss themes of revolution and resistance before putting paint to canvas. The session offered our first of three where students could engage with the project in a creative and social way. Its aim was to introduce students to the project and a way of doing history that moved beyond just reading and writing.
Screen and Scribble
On Thursday 5 March, Rewind hosted a Screen and Scribble workshop, watching I Am Cuba and exploring how cinematography can communicate emotion beyond dialogue. Students responded to the film through creative writing, using visuals, senses, and emotional responses to renegotiate our own understanding of history in emotive and thought-provoking ways.
Social Sketch
On Thursday 12 March, Rewind hosted a Social Sketch workshop, inviting students to explore Revolution Remixed through a range of artistic mediums. The session considered how different forms of creative expression can shape the way we connect with and understand revolutionary histories.
