Nature Within Us: Rogozna Between Forest, Logging Traces and Silence

This gallery was created during the “Nature Within Us” workshop, held as part of activities dedicated to the relationship between people, nature and the local community. The photographs were taken on Rogozna, a place that for the people of this region is not only a mountain, but also a space of memory, everyday life, water, forest and silence.

These frames do not present nature as a postcard. They show what often remains outside official narratives: tree stumps, broken trees, bare soil, waste and traces of human presence in a space that should be protected with care, not consumed by neglect.

The gallery is part of Avangarda’s broader work documenting environmental issues in Sandžak, especially on Rogozna, where questions of forests, water, mining, local community and the right to a healthy environment cannot be viewed separately.
