Have you noticed that new street art has recently appeared in Belgrade, whether you have passed by some interesting artistic intervention or read about them? Belgrade has become an open-air gallery. Ordinary spaces and objects were transformed into stunning works of art, thanks to a special initiative of Expo 2027. World-renowned street artists were invited to "play" with the cityscape, combining their unique styles with the rich tradition and spirit of Serbia.

In the heart of Belgrade, art finds its most vivid expression on the streets of the city. As we prepare for Expo 2027, creativity is flourishing like never before, putting the beauty and importance of artistic urban interventions in the spotlight. These public art forms—bold, imaginative, and transformative—are not mere decorations; they reflect the identity and spirit of Belgrade.

Urban interventions have the unique power to transform urban landscapes into thought-provoking interactive spaces. Artists such as Ememem, who creates phenomenal mosaics in places of holes and cracks, and LeCyklop, who transforms ordinary objects into playful characters, create new narratives in public spaces with their interventions, inviting people to notice the beauty in their everyday lives. All these works, since they are not limited by the walls of a gallery, make art more accessible, involved in the life of the city and its’ people.

Just as sports and music bring people together, public art unites communities by inviting collective participation and interaction, reflecting the playfulness, creativity and inclusiveness that deeply resonate with Expo values. Through these artistic transformations, Expo 2027 Belgrade becomes more than an International Exhibition — it becomes a living, breathing canvas on which art and culture thrive. Each mural, sculpture and installation tell a story, adding layers of meaning to the city's streets and celebrating the global and local spirit of Belgrade. Urban interventions provide an opportunity to experience the city in new ways, where every corner can reveal a new surprise, and every street can tell a new story.

In this context, Expo 2027 will not only showcase world cultures, cutting-edge technology and global innovation, but will also celebrate the power of art to redefine space, create connections and inspire playful interaction. These interventions represent the essence of Expo events – creativity, unity and the transformative power of human expression in shaping the future of our cities.

These works of art are just the beginning of a larger cultural movement leading up to the Specialized Exhibition, demonstrating Belgrade's openness to new artistic expressions while respecting the city's heritage. Follow us as the city continues to develop, one artistic move at a time, and in the coming period, through public competitions, we will invite the local art scene to get involved in the arrangement of cities throughout Serbia.
