Eyes on TikTok
Eyes on TikTok is a co-creative project exploring young people’s mental health, social media and the body, initiated by artist Anna-Marija Adomaitytė and least. The project invites young people aged 15 to 19 to take part in a process of creative exploration and reflection through movement workshops, group discussions and creative practices involving social media.
The project begins by creating a space where young people can share their concerns, desires and personal experiences of social media use, without imposing an adult perspective on the subject. These exchanges will provide a starting point for discussing both the risks and positive aspects of TikTok, while exploring the relationships between algorithms, emotions and mental health. Participants will also be invited to engage directly with the TikTok app—observing, questioning, disrupting and experimenting with the ways it is used. In doing so, they will explore conscious and inventive strategies for reshaping their relationship with the platform and reclaiming it as a space for expression rather than pressure.
The movement practice developed through the creative process behind TikTok-Ready Choreographies (created by Anna-Marija Adomaitytė, Pavillon ADC, Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne, 2024) draws on group improvisation techniques accessible to everyone. It incorporates familiar gestures from the virtual world and everyday life, using them as material for collective movement. Participants will explore the qualities this performative practice can foster and strengthen, including confidence, imagination, autonomy, body awareness and the experience of taking part in a shared practice.
The project aims to offer young people a space for listening, experimentation and creative exploration, where they can investigate the complexities of their relationship with TikTok and develop forms of resistance, solidarity and care in response to the mental health challenges associated with social media.
The first series of co-creative workshops will take place from October 27 to December 15, every Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Maison de l’Enfance et de l’Adolescence (MEA).
There are approximately 10 places available per series.

Steps Completed
Since autumn 2025, least has been working closely with the Convergences Foundation of the Maison de l’enfance et de l’adolescence (MEA) at HUG. This collaboration has become an important source of support and a key point of connection in bringing the artistic and cultural project to life with young people.
The partnership has notably enabled the formation of the transdisciplinary team leading the project. The team includes choreographer and artist Anna-Marija Adomaitytė, alongside Lou Bertossa, an actress in training and artist-in-residence at least for the project.
Lou was a performer in TikTok-Ready Choreographies. Her involvement brings a particularly valuable perspective to the project, enriched by her collaboration with Anna-Marija Adomaitytė and informed by her ongoing development as an artist.
The team also includes Carole Barnetche, a psychomotor therapist specialising in working with young people, notably at the MEA. Throughout the project, she will help provide a supportive framework for listening, care and well-being.
In Progress
The transdisciplinary team and least are currently developing the workshop programme, which will run from autumn 2026 through to the end of spring 2027.
The aim is to meet and build relationships with young people from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly through partnerships such as the one currently being developed with the ForPro Foundation, whose mission is to encourage, support, promote and advocate for vocational training among young people, their families and businesses across the canton of Geneva.
Our teams are also meeting with new organisations and potential partners that work directly with young people in their local communities, including community centres.
least is committed to acting as a bridge between the different organisations working with young people, forging connections and facilitating dialogue between them. The aim is to create stronger links between extracurricular and leisure activities, educational support and guidance, and mental health services.
Upcoming
The first cycle of workshops will run from 27 October to 15 December 2026, the second from 26 January to 28 March 2027, and the third from 13 April to 1 June 2027.
During each cycle, workshops will take place every Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Maison de l’Enfance et de l’Adolescence (MEA) at HUG. They will be structured around three main areas:
• Collective discussions: in small groups, participants will be invited to share their experiences, emotions and questions relating to their use of TikTok.
• Creative practices: participants will engage with TikTok through critical observation and the creation of videos, collages and collective posts, exploring ways of transforming the platform into a space for expression, play and reflection.
• Movement practice: accessible exercises will take familiar gestures from everyday life and the virtual world as their starting point. The practice will invite participants to reconnect with their bodies through a heightened awareness of gesture, while exploring collective forms of improvisation and shared movement.
Although each cycle will culminate in some form of public presentation, Eyes on TikTok is conceived as a long-term project. It unfolds as a continuous process punctuated by intermediate stages, creating a stimulating rhythm while nurturing and sustaining young people’s desire to participate over time.
