🎨 Lucija Marin’𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: Night Wings (Noćna krila)

"Night Wings is an art-science project that brings together fieldwork in bat conservation with visual art, sound, and storytelling to explore creative ways of engaging with biodiversity protection. The project focuses on bats (Chiroptera) – fascinating nocturnal mammals that play a key role in ecosystems but are often marginalized, misunderstood, or stigmatized in public perception.

The goal is to present bats not only as ecological actors, but also as integral to our landscapes and cultural imagination – and to encourage greater public sensitivity to their protection.

What does the world look and sound like from a bat’s perspective? How can we interpret the inaudible and invisible through drawing or sound? Can art open new, more sensory-based relationships with the natural world?" - Lucija Marin (IG: lucija_marin)
