Exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space'

The exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space' presents protected areas of Belgrade, selected specimens of dendroflora, natural landmarks, and extraordinary 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 overlap. Besides the environmental significance that is most commonly recognized, the natural values of special features in the urban landscape composition are inseparable from urban, historical, and cultural toponyms. Developing urban space is conquering natural space, while preserving natural resources is simultaneously a necessary condition for survival. The contemporary inhabitant of urban space forgets the original connection with the natural environment, the integrity of which is essential for maintaining one's natural and humane essence, neglecting one of the essential needs of human beings to be in a lasting communication and touch with nature.

Through the exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space,' the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia introduces the audience to the living monuments of Belgrade, as witnesses of the past to which we are connected through history, memories, reminiscences, traditions, and myths. The exhibition aims to acquaint the public with protected areas - 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.
