How We See Ourselves

A Talk on Body and Sexuality

Inspired by the work of Viviane Sassen, this talk with clinical sexologist and sex coach Lea Holzfurtner explores the body not as something to be judged or desired by others, but as a living, evolving sculpture. Together, we dive into the intersections of sexuality, self-perception, and the gaze — asking how we can reclaim the way we see and feel ourselves.

Lea Holzfurtner brings her expertise to guide us through embodied insights and reflections on identity, desire, and liberation. Moderated by Paloma Frau, Director of Programming and Cultural Events, the session opens into a shared discussion with space for questions, stories, and personal reflections.
