The topic of the lecture was the experience of our association in the work of creating a digitized archive of street art in the previous two years, as well as setting up the first exhibition of Belgrade’s street art and graffiti in a virtual space in our region.
This exhibition is a unique example of digitization, and it is available to audiences from all over the world on the VR-All-Art platform. More than 40 works created by local and foreign authors on the streets of Belgrade were presented. The works are divided into several categories – old school graffiti, collaborations of several artists, characters, templates, stickers, murals… The exhibited works are accompanied by texts that describe the context in which the selected works were created and provide an insight into the history of the development of graffiti and street art culture in Belgrade. The texts are in English, and audio monitoring of the exhibition is also possible. In addition to the exhibition, a life-size virtual replica of a Belgrade wall (3D wall) was installed in the space.
Students had the opportunity to visit the exhibition and get an impression of the works of art in a virtual space.
During the lecture, art historian Ljiljana Radošević presented the project of digitization of contemporary creativity through the presentation of a digitized archive of photos and texts on the topic of street art.
An example of successful digitization of contemporary creativity is the first exhibition of Belgrade’s street art in a virtual space called “Loving Street Art Belgrade”.

It is a long-term project to promote digitization and preservation of street art in Belgrade and Serbia. The goal of the project is to raise awareness of the preservation and processing of existing street art material through digitization and innovative presentation in virtual space.
The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Information in the field of digitization of cultural heritage and contemporary creativity for 2021.
