About the artwork
This work reimagines Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper — but here, no disciples remain. Instead, the table is filled with women: nurses, cleaners, artists, teachers, scientists, mothers. Each one carries a different story, profession, and form of care. The sacred moment of revelation becomes a quiet celebration of everyday labour — the kind that sustains the world yet rarely makes it into history books.
About the Artist
Sylwia Zawiślak (b. 1991) is an interdisciplinary visual artist whose practice centers on printmaking, with a particular focus on linocut. Her work weaves together personal experiences of migration with reflections on global social tensions, exploring the intersections of power, identity, and representation. Through bold visual language and technical precision, Zawiślak addresses the complexities of contemporary life, from decolonial narratives to the critique of emotional capitalism and online mythologies.
Her artistic approach often extends beyond individual creation into the realm of participation and collaboration. She conducts workshops and community-based projects in which printmaking becomes both a medium and a method of dialogue, empowerment, and collective storytelling. This socially engaged dimension of her practice seeks to reclaim silenced narratives and transform shared experiences into acts of creative resistance.
