I'm your guide to the curiosities and vibrant contemporary art happenings in Belgrade!
Most recently, empty buildings and spaces of the once main industrial riverside zone of Belgrade are being reactivated by becoming multifunctional dynamic art spaces. In this way, it seems the two rivers on which the city stands, the Sava and the Danube, are becoming a new center of urban life. More and more, artists are dealing with, investigating and stressing out the specific issues and problems found in our society.
In Belgrade, be curious (because Belgrade is also curious about you:)! Interesting places and people are sometimes hidden and hard to see at first sight... but rewarding once you find them!
