This workshop explores the overflow of sexualized imagery and asks how "Enough" can guide healthy boundaries. Through reflection and artistic practice, participants develop empowered, self-determined strategies for navigating digital sexuality.

This workshop examines the overwhelming presence of sexualized images and online pornography, asking how the concept of “Enough” can support healthier relationships to digital intimacy. By using “Enough” as a critical lens, participants question when digital sexual content becomes excessive, how it shapes expectations of bodies and sexuality, and where personal and social boundaries can be consciously set. The workshop encourages participants to explore their own thresholds: What feels empowering? What feels intrusive? How can intentional reduction and clearer boundaries foster a more autonomous experience of sexuality online?

Guided by Lisa Andergassen and Diana Weis, the course combines critical media literacy with artistic experimentation. Participants analyze media representations of sexuality, body norms, and desire, learning to articulate a non-moralizing and reflective language around these topics. They will also work creatively - through collage, video, photo, or text - to translate personal insights into artistic forms.

Collaborative discussions, peer exchanges, and short theoretical inputs create a supportive environment for shared learning. Artistic exercises allow participants to reframe digital images and reclaim agency over how sexuality is represented and experienced. By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed individual strategies for self-protection, boundary-setting, and self-determination in the digital sphere, culminating in a collective manifesto that articulates their redefined understanding of “Enough.”
