BROKEN BANKNOTE · 2021

POLSKA slip — Polska Slip

Twenty złoty, printed in the 1980s for a state that would not last the decade. Shipyard workers organized. Solidarity grew. In 1989, the Party lost an election it had designed to win, and its money went next. Here, the real notes slip through a tear in the paint. Money is issued by decree. It can also be voted out.
