Dutch artists Vincent W. J. van Gerven Oei and Jonas Stall tackled the conservative role of the Dutch battalion in the Srebrenica massacre, while Tea Tupajić's sound installation, more poetically than analytically, faced the Srebrenica tragedy as one of the more significant tragedies in modern Europe.<br><br><br>-- <br>Pučko otvoreno učilište Velika Gorica<br>GALERIJA GALŽENICA<br>Trg Stjepana Radića 5<br>HR - 10410 Velika Gorica<br>tel:+385 1 6221 122 / fax: 6226 740<br><a href="http://www.galerijagalzenica.info/" target="_blank">www.galerijagalzenica.info</a><br><br></span><br><br><div>
