Hacerstwo Roots (Scouting Roots)
By Katarzyna Krzton
A picture is worth a thousand words, and what they mean to a person can say a lot about who they are. In her photo ethnography, Katarzyna Krzton interviews Druchna, a leader of her Polish Girl Scouts organization, Harcerstwo. Through their interview and Druchna’s photographs, Katarzyna shows what the organization means to Druchna, how the ups and downs of her involvement have shaped her character, and how this unique experience has impacted her life.
