Exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space'

The exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space' showcases 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-sculpture made from recycled materials on the theme of protected animal species inhabiting the space of our capital city.

The city and nature intertwine and intertwine. In addition to the ecological significance that is most often recognized, the natural values of special features in the composition of the urban landscape 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 modern inhabitant of urban space forgets the original connection with the natural environment, the whole without which he himself loses his natural, human nature, and thus neglects one of the essential needs of the human being to be in continuous communication and contact with nature.

Through the exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space,' the Institute for Nature Protection of Serbia introduces the audience to living monuments of Belgrade, as witnesses of the past with which we are connected through history, memories, commemorations, traditions, and myths. The exhibition aims to familiarize the public with protected areas - green oases of Belgrade, selected specimens of protected dendroflora, and animal species of Belgrade in the context of preservation, valuation, and interpretation of the natural heritage of urban space.
