Keep Out of Reach of Children is an art installation by Philiswa Lila focussing on lessons about safety, and comprising paintings, bead works, found objects and a documented visual performance.
The works presented are visual expressions of personal experiences and recollections, amounting to a collective outcry against violence.
Within the performance Lila explores safety concerning childhood stories, especially girlhood by including the themes of menstruation, love, desire, pain, rape, shame, gender norms and resilience, based on interviews documented in her The GendV / GBV (Gender-based violence) project in Johannesburg, between Sandton and Alexandra township.
