Malonny festival name was created combining the names of 3 cities: Marijampolė (MA), London (LON), and New York (NY). Will Teather in 2024 created a portrait of the well-known musician David Bowie, because this artist was connected to both cities – he was born in London in 1947 and died in New York in 2016. So now he is connected to Marijampolė too.
