Kasia WITH THE film competition Jury of the LADEK MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 2020-2023

Kasia is expedition caver and cave & outdoor photographer. She’s based in Poland but her favorite destinations are North, Central and South America.

For more than 20 years Kasia has spent almost every spring in Mexico, participating in the long term projects led by US Deep Caving Team: exploring Sistema Cheve (-1529 m) and Sistema Huautla (-1560 m), respectively the 2nd deepest and the 1st deepest caves of the western hemisphere.

Most of Kasia’s photography happens during expeditions focused on caving or on the science research.

When Kasia is not in the outdoors, she works for Ladek Mountain Festival in Poland as Film Programming Director, translates mountain films from English, French and Spanish into Polish and organizes the screenings throughout her country. She also gives talks about her expeditions and does workshops for kids about speleology, photography and discovering the world through traveling.
