Exhibition “In the Same Rhythm”: a dialogue of generations through the art of Meri and Sandra Mišić at Silosi Beograd

The exhibition “In the Same Rhythm”, which opened at the beginning of summer at Silosi Beograd, brought together works by contemporary artist Meri Mišić and choreographer and producer Sandra Mišić—mother and daughter whose artistic practices naturally intertwine through form, movement, and stage expression. The exhibition was ceremonially closed with an evening event under the open sky, rounding off a story about creation, family, and the connection between generations.

Meri Mišić, an artist born and active in Novi Sad, engages in contemporary visual art through relief and sculptural form. Her monumental works are made from thousands of hammered nails, metal, and glass—materials that seem cold and hard, but in her interpretation transform into powerful, emotionally charged scenes. At the core of her practice is a dialogue of opposites: the rigidity of material and the tenderness of the image.

In the same space, works by Sandra Mišić, choreographer and founder of the art agency and dance studio Fluid, were also presented. Her performances have marked some of Europe’s biggest stages and megaclubs, including the Ibiza scene. The Belgrade audience had the chance to see the recognizable masks and costumes from Sandra’s productions—visual elements that have become a signature of her stage language.

The artistic dialogue between mother and daughter forms the core of the exhibition “In the Same Rhythm”. Meri Mišić’s visual world continues through Sandra Mišić’s movement and performance, while in Fluid’s stage identity the inspiration from her mother’s work is clearly recognizable. In this way, sculptural form pours into choreography, and the gallery space becomes a stage.

The exhibition confirmed the importance of intergenerational collaboration and art as a space of encounter—of past and future, matter and emotion, stillness and movement—leaving a strong trace that goes beyond the boundaries of individual media.

Flora in Silosi: Olja Peternek’s healthy bites

This year, Flora opened in Silosi—a new gastro corner of healthy bites created by Olja Peternek. Flora was born out of a personal need, friendship, and the desire to create a place where food feels good for the body and the space inspires everyday life.

Flora offers seasonal, fresh, and simple meals—light, full of flavor, and without that heavy feeling after eating. This is food for a body that doesn’t need a break after a meal, and for a rhythm that doesn’t stop.

The concept leans on a healthy food approach, with a focus on vegetables, natural ingredients, and balanced recipes. In a time of quick fixes, Flora chooses more mindfully—bites remembered for their taste, not their size.

Right at the entrance to the Silosi free zone, Flora’s walls have also received a new artistic face. Two murals were painted by artist Marv, who, through colors and motifs, brought extra life to the Medonosni vrt space and the Gaia movement, turning it into a whole that connects nature and art.

On Flora’s front wall is the motif of the Tree of Life, a symbol of the roots we draw strength from and of growth reaching toward the light. The side wall is adorned with a jay with a cherry in its beak, like a quiet message of joy, abundance, and freedom—a reminder of personal choice and attentiveness to the world we build.

Flora and Medonosni vrt now function as a single space—born out of love and friendship, intended for everyone who believes that small, everyday things have the power to change the world.

API Chamber in the Honey Garden of Silosi

Since 2023, the API chamber in the Honey Garden of Silosi has been offering visitors a unique apitherapy experience—treatments in a space filled with the energy and vibrations of bees. Throughout the season, every corner of the API chamber was a place of peace and natural balance, where visitors could feel the benefits of bees.

What is apitherapy?

Apitherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses bee products and the energy of bee colonies to strengthen health and well-being. By spending time in the API chamber, visitors breathe in the benefits of the beekeeping environment—honey, propolis, wax, and bee pollen—while the vibrations of the bees have a relaxing effect on body and mind.

Apitherapy helps with:

Staying in the API chamber offers a unique experience of connecting with nature, where science, health, and ecology come together in a safe and inspiring space.

During 2025, the API chamber was open until the end of the season in October, while new sessions are planned for late April the following year. Each visitor’s first visit included a check-up treatment with Dr. Plavšić, which walks them through the use of apitherapy and introduces all of its benefits.

In addition to treatments, visitors had the opportunity to learn about apitherapy and its benefits during social gatherings and educational programs in the Honey Garden, including celebrations of the World Apitherapy Day.

Warming up for Paris begins – an exhibition ahead of the Olympic Games opens at Silosi!

This interactive installation is conceived as a big warm-up for the 33rd Olympic Games in Paris, jointly organized by the Olympic Committee of Serbia and the Gaia Movement, the nonprofit organization behind Belgrade’s Silosi. This unusual exhibition, dedicated to the biggest and most important sporting competition in the world, will run until June 23, with plenty of accompanying programs such as guided tours, workshops, panel discussions, quizzes, and even a treasure hunt for young people! Admission is free, and the exhibition is open from 12 pm to 9 pm, every day except Monday.

New hologram technologies, exciting Olympic posters, ceremonial uniforms, and numerous attractive exhibits at Silosi brought visitors closer to the Olympic movement, whose scale and significance go beyond sporting competitions and records. Basketball players Nevena Jovanović and Saša Čađo, winners of the bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, officially declared the Exhibition open and invited the citizens of Serbia to visit the exhibition and thus support our team that will compete at the Olympic Games in Paris.

At the beginning, the guests were also addressed by the Secretary General of the Olympic Committee of Serbia, Đorđe Višacki, who, among other things, said: “We wanted this exhibition to touch hearts, first and foremost of young people, but also of all of us who share the Olympic values of friendship and competitive excellence, and so I hope visitors will enjoy everything we’ve prepared for them.”

Anastasija Ćetković, founder of the “Gaia Movement,” the organization that transformed old grain silos into Belgrade’s largest social gathering place, added that “the Olympic Games truly are much more than sport, because they have been and remain the greatest showcase humanity has. The Olympic spirit is also the spirit of friendship among nations, the spirit of multiculturalism, the spirit of skill and art—both competitive and the spirit of fair play—and above all, the spirit of peace that reminds us that we are all one big community on this one planet we have.” Those gathered were also addressed by DDOR osiguranje Executive Board member Tatjana Rakočević: “We proudly support the Olympic Committee of Serbia in what is now our second cycle, and we invite everyone to take part in the Olympic Quiz and the Treasure Hunt, and in doing so win extremely valuable prizes that we have prepared for visitors.”

Visitors found the holobox especially attractive, as with the help of new technologies it led those gathered into real relay races with Olympic torches that have passed through our country several times. Also always interesting were the Olympic posters, which were always created by the best visual artists and graphic designers around the world, thus combining sport and art, tradition and contemporary culture. Attention was also drawn to the ceremonial uniforms our athletes have proudly worn throughout the 112-year history of Olympism here. Serbia’s athletes made their Olympic debut in 1912, and the exhibition “The Olympic Games – More Than Sport!” also presents numerous historical photographs, as well as video footage and items that were presented through the Virtual Olympic Museum. Visitors had the opportunity to peek into the Olympic Village and find out what is in our Olympians’ bags, and all those interested in the coming days will be able to leave a message for our athletes on a specially created wall of wishes.

The exhibition has a rich accompanying program for all generations, and as early as today from 4 pm young people can look forward to a treasure hunt, and tonight from 7 pm a panel will be held at Silosi featuring Olympic champions Tijana Bogdanović and Svetlana Obućina. The very next day, on Sunday at 1 pm, the Olympic Quiz will be held, and at 3 pm an Eco Workshop dedicated to birds. In the following days, visitors can also expect guided tours, creative workshops through the “Olympic Lesson,” Conversations with Champions, eco workshops of the Children’s Ecological Academy, panel discussions by the “Women and Sport” commission of the Olympic Committee of Serbia on the topics: “Olympic champions then and now” and “What after Olympic gold?”, a promotion of the book “Krugovi Berlina 1936” by author Tamara Malešev, as well as marking 40 years since the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

New Year’s Bazaar Held at Belgrade’s Silosi – Holiday Spirit and New Year’s Magic by the River

The holidays are already knocking at the door, the New Year’s euphoria is in full swing—and what would that euphoria be without a New Year’s bazaar. Over the past weekend, from December 23 to 25, a large New Year’s bazaar was held at Belgrade’s Silosi.

 During the New Year’s market, visitors could enjoy handcrafted goods from numerous exhibitors—so they could buy the best gin in town, Dorćol honey from our hives, choose the best jewelry for New Year’s Eve, essentials for furnishing a home, or  pick out clothes for little babies.

 For good reason, our bazaar was one of the hottest in the city. All of our Silosi crew could enjoy good music, and the underfloor heating was responsible for the cozy and warm atmosphere.

 We would like to thank all our exhibitors, including Kabinet Brewery,  Mad Med, TKV, 2tales Spirit, and many others.

 As we sum up our impressions from the New Year’s bazaar, the euphoria is still holding us—and we’re already getting ready for the bazaars waiting for you in the new year, 2023.

The exhibition “Being Young in Serbia” opens at Belgrade’s Silosi

The exhibition of the 20 best works from the photo contest “Being Young in Serbia,” under the patronage of the European Union, has opened at Belgrade’s Silosi.

 The exhibited works are the best ones selected by the contest’s five-member jury, and the photographs show how young people live in Serbia, what challenges they face, how they see the world around them, certain spheres of life such as art and sport, as well as the struggle for a better tomorrow.

 “This is my first year in Serbia, and those 365 days feel like 600 to me. This year began with ideas and goals; Novi Sad took on the title of the first European Capital of Culture outside the EU; we had plans when it comes to the fight against climate change, but somehow all of that had to be reorganized,” stressed the EU Ambassador to Serbia, Emanuele Žiofre.

 The winning photograph was taken by Miloš Krstić, titled “Festival Euphoria.” The photo was taken at the world-famous, homegrown festival Exit. Miloš won first prize, and in addition his photograph will be published in National Geographic and Politikin zabavnik.

In the category Best Photographs by Citizens, in addition to Krstić who won first place, Irena Ljubanović was also awarded for the photograph “A Woman in Solidarity with a Woman,” and Jana Cekić for the photograph “So What Now?”

 In the category Best Photo of an EU Project, the award went to the photograph “Amputation Does Not Hinder the Development of Strength” by Bojan Jorgić from Niš.

ODE TO A WOMAN - Tina Marić opens an exhibition dedicated to a woman’s inner, sensitive beauty

On Friday, March 3 at 7 PM, the photography exhibition “Ode to a Woman” by Tina Marić opened at Silosi Beograd. The exhibition runs until March 19, according to Silosi’ winter opening hours.

 “Ode to a Woman” is the culmination of Tina Marić’s work over the past four years, during which she shifted her creative focus to exploring sensitive human nature. This show was created by selecting 20 works from 2018 to the present day, from the artist’s own private collection. As the exhibition title suggests, the show celebrates woman—untamed, a little wild, unusually beautiful—the one who, in her inner nature, hides both intensity and tenderness in equal measure.

 Asked where the inspiration for this direction in photography comes from, Tina says“The fascination starts from my earliest days, watching my mother—her clothes, how she does her makeup, paints her nails, does her hair. Later, I started paying attention to how women move, how they behave. At first I casually photographed my friends, and then I realized how much they enjoyed it and how much I liked it, which resulted in me continuing in that direction. The momentum I gained pulled me forward and led me to work on that theme professionally—to choose the set, to imagine where and how I want to photograph them. This exhibition is truly a synthesis of my thoughts about women and their nature.”

 All the beauty of a woman—strength and fragility, all perfect imperfections, and her inner world—through Tina’s lens is shown to us by models such as Nataša Vojnović, Lea Davogić, Ena Jevtić, and many others.

 Tina Marić is a photographer who lives and works in Belgrade. She graduated in Art History from the Faculty of Philosophy in 2009, and earned a master’s degree in Cultural Policy and Management in 2013 at the University of Arts in Belgrade.

In addition to group exhibitions, Tina Marić has also had three solo exhibitions. She is a regular member of ULUPUDS.

 Tijana, thank you for the wonderful photographs of women in all their beauty! You’re a force!

Silosi Beograd, as a city warehouse of endless energy, in the past period has been home to many notable exhibitions by renowned artists, including “Traces” by Miloš Nadaždin, “Art Walks” by Milena ZeVu, “She and I” by Svetlana Ninković and Sara Kujundžić, “Add Horizons” by Katarina Batuta Višekruna and Uroš Višekruna, as well as many others.

Under the Glow of the Stars: The Event That Brought Together All Generations of Belgrade in Front of the Silos This Weekend!

The Belgrade gathering of generations “Under the Glow of the Stars” took place this weekend at the Silos, in a two-day format, on Friday and Saturday, August 18 and 19. As part of the traditional event, accompanied by a colorful music program, a two-day bazaar was held, as well as two free screenings of the cult domestic film “Young and Healthy as a Rose,” starring Dragan Nikolić. The Gaia pokret, which is organizing this event for the second year in a row, invited everyone to bring their moms and dads, grandmothers, grandfathers, relatives, neighbors, and all generations who miss the promenade, dancing, and the spirit of bygone times that came alive this weekend on the banks of the Danube. 

What it looked like last year - Under the Glow of the Stars 2022:

To make sure everything flowed in perfect rhythm, a music program tailored to all generations was put together. DJ Šlager, a master who played hits from the ’50s to the ’80s, made sure grandmas and grandpas had a great time; after him, the band Funkier Project took over until midnight, coloring the evening with funk and soul music, after which DJ Andre continued with a similar musical selection, but from a more contemporary era, for some new generations. On Saturday, the continuation followed at the same pace with the musical group “Evergreen momci,” who took visitors back to the days of dance parties; it’s a band made up of musicians, doctors, and engineers, in which even the youngest member is already in their golden years and remembers the time they take us back to. After them, two pioneers of Belgrade clubbing, Brka and Peppe, spun house music from all eras in an exclusive six-hour set. Although they are two pillars of the Belgrade scene that they have jointly carried for over three decades, it was only their second joint performance—15 years after the first.

Our best-known street-art artist Aleksandra Petković TKV prepared a pop-up exhibition for this event on the plateau in front of the Gaia gallery, while many saw for the first time the newest large-format mural being painted together by Viktor Puškarev, Valerija Loginova, and Luka Prstojević, based on the famous lines “The homeland is defended with beauty” by Ljubivoje Ršumović, with sponsorship from the company Nelt. The bazaar, which brought together 30 exhibitors, was set up on Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight, and the 1971 film “Young and Healthy as a Rose,” starring Gaga Nikolić, could be watched on Saturday in front of Silo 1 at two time slots.

On Sunday, August 20, the Silos program featured Silver Sunset, when Belgrade’s guest of honor for the first time was Krystal Klear, a renowned Irish DJ and producer whose breakthrough into the world of major labels happened in 2013, and who today fills the world’s most famous clubs; at the most recent Exit he was the headliner of the No Sleep stage. Musical support was provided by our painter Marija Šević, whose DJ alter ego is Stellarcompanion.

Belgrade’s new hub of social life

The Silos, as Belgrade’s new hub of social life, are a project of the non-profit organization Gaia pokret, whose four pillars of action are education, art, sports, and environmental protection. At the Silos, many of our artists have presented their work, such as Svetlana Ninković, Dragana Ognjenović, Milena ZeVu, Mia Stanišić, as well as dozens of students from art faculties in Belgrade, while our leading events Bitef, EXIT, Belgrade Fashion Week and many others have held their programs there. 

From the Silos’ Honey Garden and apiary came the multi-award-winning honey brand “Mad Med,” and throughout the entire Silos zone, exhibitions, food and drink festivals, performances for children and adults, educational panels and conferences, craft workshops, yoga classes, bazaars of local products, and a whole series of musical and many other events are regularly held.
