URBAN ANIMALS

A photographic project

URBAN ANIMALS is a photographic project that aims to explore the delicate balance between wildlife and urban spaces through the lenses of modern photographers. This initiative focuses on three key aspects—wild creatures, domestic companions, and adaptive species—and their remarkable presence in our metropolitan environments. The project celebrates urban wildlife in its broadest interpretation: from its manifestation in street photography and documentary to its expression in contemporary art. It invites a fresh perspective on the coexistence between humans and animals, reinterpreted through the eyes of photographers from around the globe. With the special participation of international photographers and creative visionaries, the exhibition bridges the gap between nature and urban development, connecting wildlife and city life through compelling visual narratives.
