Art work

Milica Tomic’s work centers on researching, unearthing and bringing to public debate issues related to political and economic violence, trauma and social amnesia, with particular attention to the short circuit between intimacy and politics. As a response to the commitment to social change and the new forms of collectivity it engenders, Tomić has made a marked shift from individual to collective artistic practice.[5] Today, she is a founding member of the new Yugoslav art/theory group, Grupa Spomenik/Monument Group (2002), founder of the cross-disciplinary project Four Faces of Omarska (2010 and initiator of the Working group Four Faces of Omarska.
