Exhibition author: SASA Corresponding Member Marjan Niketić
Organised by the Museum of Natural History in Belgrade and the SASA Gallery of Science and Technology
This multimedia setup is a visual and educational reflection of the author’s multiannual study of plants thriving on rocky terrains across the Balkan peninsula.
The exhibition comprises several segments: the author’s photographs depicting rocky landscapes as natural habitats of lithophytes, revealing the hidden beauty of microhabitats along sea and lake shores, as well as riverbanks, and presenting detailed botanical portraits of plants adapted to such rugged environments. In addition to the photographs, the display includes framed herbarium specimens, rock samples, and stones classified according to their geological composition.
Alongside his intention to showcase the diversity and beauty of this unique part of natural heritage through photographs and specimens, the author sends a clear message that it is necessary to have a more mindful and dedicated approach to protecting natural heritage.
