Exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space'

The exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space' presents the protected areas of Belgrade, selected specimens of dendroflora, natural landmarks, and landscapes of exceptional features interpreted in the form of video works, photographs, and texts, as well as an eco figure made of secondary raw materials on the topic of protected animal species inhabiting the space of our capital city.

The city and nature intertwine and permeate each other. In addition to the ecological significance that is most commonly recognized, the natural values of particular characteristics in the composition of the urban landscape are inseparable from urban, historical, and cultural toponyms. Developing urban space represents the conquest of nature's space, while preserving natural resources is simultaneously a necessary condition for survival. The modern inhabitant of urban space forgets the inherent connection with the natural environment, a whole without which one loses their natural, humane essence, neglecting one of the essential needs of human beings to be in permanent communication and touch with nature.

Through the exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space', the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia brings closer to the public the living monuments of Belgrade, as witnesses of the past to which we are connected through history, memories, remembrances, traditions, and myths. The aim of the display is to acquaint the public with protected areas - the green oases of Belgrade, selected specimens of protected dendroflora, and animal species of Belgrade in the context of preservation, valorization, and interpretation of the natural heritage of urban space.
