The territory of the former Yugoslavia, being one of the areas particularly exposed to pollution, becomes a focal point for positive change to which the project aims to contribute. In collaboration with partners from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Croatia the project seeks to explore environmental protection issues by engaging a broader professional, artistic, and activist community. Advocating for sustainable development through participatory bio art installations, Bio Awaking aims to raise awareness of the role art can play in sustainability processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific objectives of the project include developing a network of bio artists across Europe, strengthening the capacities of European artists in utilizing biomaterials, and creating bio art installations using environmental samples. Additionally, the project will focus on involving decision-makers in all phases of the process, fostering an audience for bio art that supports environmental conservation, and nurturing cultural, artistic, and educational collaboration in addressing environmental challenges in Europe and the Balkans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b16ad781 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u00a0<strong>Bio art Forum e-publication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Bio-Art-Forum-WEB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pdf-svgrepo-com.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2901 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/800;width:150px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Bio Art Forum Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Bio-art-forum-program-for-webpage.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pdf-svgrepo-com.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2901 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/800;width:150px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>News<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list is-grid columns-3 wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/en\/5070\/\" aria-label=\"BIO AWAKING okon\u010dan ekolo\u0161kom akcijom sadnje drve\u0107a u okviru inicijative One Tree(s)\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01-foto-Marko-Risovic-scaled-18x12.jpg 18w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/div><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/en\/5070\/\">BIO AWAKING okon\u010dan ekolo\u0161kom akcijom sadnje drve\u0107a u okviru inicijative One Tree(s)<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Udru\u017eenje gra\u0111ana Reaktor, u saradnji sa Centrom za promociju nauke, Fondacijom Novi Sad \u2013 Evropska prestonica kulture (Srbija), udru\u017eenjem Greenways (BiH), Institutom Kersnikova (Slovenija) i Univerzalnim istra\u017eiva\u010dkim institutom (Hrvatska), 2023. godine pokrenulo je projekat Bio Awaking.

Over the past two decades, the region has grappled with a disparity between increasing pollution levels and the need for improved environmental management. Despite boasting rich biodiversity, the Western Balkans experience widespread habitat destruction, groundwater contamination, soil erosion, and air pollution due to industrial activities and inadequate waste management practices. Poor environmental practices underscore the need for concerted action to mitigate ecological degradation and promote sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bio Awaking project emerges in a rapidly evolving global landscape where traditional notions of progress, driven by the development of science and technology, falter in the face of ecological crises. As climate change intensifies and biodiversity diminishes, it becomes evident that a paradigm shift is necessary - one that utilizes interdisciplinary collaboration and critical thinking to reconsider the role of science and technology in safeguarding the future of our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bio Awaking project addresses these challenges through the dynamic fusion of art, science, and public engagement. Harnessing the transformative potential of bio-art, the project aims to stimulate dialogue and action around urgent environmental issues, empowering communities to advocate for change. Drawing inspiration from initiatives such as the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus, Bio Awaking seeks to catalyze a cultural shift towards environmental sustainability, positioning art and the humanities as drivers of social transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the project's primary objectives is the democratization of bio-art practices, making them accessible to local organizations and fostering collaboration between artists and scientific researchers. Bio Awaking seeks to promote innovation in cultural and creative sectors through international exchange and capacity-building initiatives. By establishing long-term residency programs and advocating for the establishment of bio art laboratories in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the project also aims to create a sustainable ecosystem of artistic innovation through environmental protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f1485e4270faf67c675add1f415e0ec\"><strong>Partners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-829b1d53 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-adf59e7bc7e8a3ec17288ca68033c9d7 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#000000;padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:2em;padding-left:2em\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"842\" height=\"595\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/reaktor-logo-01.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2728 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/reaktor-logo-01.png 842w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/reaktor-logo-01-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/reaktor-logo-01-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/artandscience.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/reaktor-logo-01-18x12.png 18w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 842px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 842\/595;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size translation-block\" style=\"line-height:1.5\"><strong>The Citizens' Association \"Reactor\"<\/strong> unites cultural managers and artists engaging with contemporary social issues using artistic and experimental practices.
