“Reducing verbal violence against children” is an immersive installation on parental verbal violence against children.
The project explores the fact that children who are exposed to verbal violence by their parents in childhood experience many different behaviours as they grow up, most of which are harmful. The target audience for this project is all parents and carers. It encourages the audience to reflect on and learn from their own experiences and behaviour, with the hope that this might contribute to a reduction in abusive incidents towards children. The installation uses video and sound to create an immersive experience for the audience and the final visual presentation shows the extent of damage that can be done to children by those that are supposed to care for them.
