This article is intended as a polemic with Kacper Pobłocki’s theses contained in his text “How Poles became white”, which was published in the collective volume Halka/Haiti. 18°48’05”N 72°23’01”W. This volume accompanied the art project of the same title, which was presented in the Polish pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale. Bobako critically analyses Pobłocki’s attempt to superimpose the categories of “black” and “white” on the relationship between serfs and the nobility and shows the problematic implications of such a procedure, which were not considered by the author. She places her analysis in the context of contemporary “whiteness studies”.
