During her research Monika Drożyńska came across a certain society that works for the establishment of public order. It turned out that the society received only part of its city subsidy for its activities
, which may result in the closing of the institution. The artist made a decision to critically review this year’s Idiom “New World Order” at Malta in relation to the whole festival. By deliberately giving up on the visual part of the project, she is donating its budget as a subsidy for the Society.
