Gravitational Wave Astrophysics has already demonstrated its potential to explore the Universe, but we are still at the beginning of this journey. While we regularly observe gravitational waves from compact binaries, we do not know what we may discover next. In my talk, I will give an overview of the field of Gravitational Wave Astrophysics by discussing the gravitational-wave detectors (current status and the future), the sources (standard and exceptional), and the role of model-independent searches in the exploration of the Universe. I will announce an upcoming LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Symposium in Warsaw on core-collapse supernovae - one of the most interesting sources of gravitational waves.
