Simple item page
dc.abstract.enThe point of departure for the analysis of the response to the Black Lives Matter movement in Poland will be a photograph taken by Rafał Milach, an artist whose practice concentrates on exploring history and political-social transformation, in June 2020 at a solidarity protest outside the US embassy in Warsaw, one of many pandemic-time protests against police brutality towards Black communities, spurred by the killing of George Floyd. The chapter tracks the multidirectional history of this image: looking at the instances of anti-Jewish and anti-Black racist violence and its heritage in Polish landscape, language, and imagery, at the responses of the Council for the Polish Language, artists, and art institutions, as well as various forms of online activism and traditional media reception of and participation in the debate on Polish contemporary and historical racisms.
