If today we live in the time of interaction between art and activism - when art can change reality, than civilian consciousness can be viewed as authorial. The work Society and Documents invites visitors to interact with the work to create their order of sentences. With the sentences given in the form of stamps, visitors recontextualize historical data - sentences of the AFŽ (anti fascist women front) and sentences written by the artist. They are concerned with the common characteristics of the open artwork and this historical movement. The first newly created document is the interaction of Bosiljka Pejović, married Protić (1921), founder of AFŽ in Montenegro:
