Active in the European cultural scene, Wieslawa created and curated the Intercultural Visual Form event (2016–2019) and founded the association Formatova, which allows young international directors to intervene in atypical spaces by projecting short films onto walls. Under the theme of identity, she founded a cultural association.

She is currently an artist-in-residence in Kristiansand, Norway, developing her latest project while exploring the city’s cultural landscape.

She will soon be moving to Iceland to live there and to deepen her artistic, site-specific research (to be continued).
