„Nam już chodzi o wszystko” – folklor protestacyjny Strajków Kobiet w Warszawie w 2020 i 2021 roku
“It’s about everything now” – the folklore of street protests of All Women’s Strikes in Warsaw in 2020 and 2021

Summary/Abstract: In October 2020, the Constitutional Tribunal announced a verdict which drastically limited the possibility of abortion, even in the case of serious or lethal defects of the foetus. This ruling sparked social protests unprecedented since 1989, which took place in large and small towns across the country. Using the tools of engaged anthropology, auto-ethnography, and folklore, I decided to look at the ways of communication of protesters and the processes of creating a protest community. In the text, I present and analyse three main spheres of action of protest folklore: the verbal and visual sphere contained on cardboard banners, the acoustic sphere and the embodied sphere expressed through movement.
