Exhibition "City Space - Nature Space"

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

The city and nature intertwine and merge. In addition to the ecological significance that is most commonly recognized, the natural values of special characteristics in the composition of the urban landscape are inseparable from urban, historical, and cultural toponyms. The development of urban space represents the conquering of nature's space, while the preservation of natural resources is simultaneously a necessary condition for survival. The modern inhabitant of urban spaces forgets the innate connection with the natural environment, the whole without which even loses its natural, humane face, thereby neglecting one of the essential needs of human beings to be in continuous communication and contact with nature.

Through the exhibition "City Space - Nature Space," the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia brings living monuments of Belgrade closer to the public, as witnesses of the past with which we are connected through history, memories, remembrances, traditions, and myths. The exhibition aims to introduce the audience to 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.
