Exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space'

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

The city and nature interweave and intersect. In addition to the ecological significance that is most commonly recognized, the natural values of unique characteristics in the urban landscape composition are inseparable from urban, historical, and cultural toponyms. The development of urban space represents the conquest of natural space, while the preservation of natural resources is simultaneously a necessary condition for survival. The contemporary inhabitant of urban space tends to forget 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 constant communication and touch with nature.

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