Artist Raises Alarm Over Death Threats

An artist and rights activist, Adedamola Shogo, aka Adaramati, has sent a Save Our Souls (SOS) message to concerned authorities regarding threats to his life by some unknown individuals who he said are bent on snuffing life out of him over his recent art exhibition.

Shogo, who claimed his lawyer, Niyi Adekanla, said he had received many calls and threats to his life owing to the artwork, which was widely criticised.

He said the artwork had sparked objections due to perceived insensitivity regarding using sacred texts. The artwork, which incorporated pages from both the Bible and the Quran, was intended to promote unity between Christians and Muslims.

It could be recalled that despite the artist’s noble goal of advocating for inclusivity and harmony, the contentious discussions during the art festival led to heated arguments.

Investigations revealed that Shogo, the artist behind the controversial painting featured at the festival, had intended to donate the money raised from its sale to support displaced people in Plateau State.

This philanthropic initiative underscores Shogo’s commitment to using art to address social issues and aid marginalised communities.

 

However, the charitable efforts of the artist were hindered by the inclusion of sacred texts from two major religions, which proved to be a significant stumbling block. The juxtaposition of these texts, while symbolically powerful in conveying the artist’s message of unity, inadvertently stirred controversy.

 

Following the festival, it appears that the image of the controversial artwork has been removed from Shogo’s website, suggesting his response to the public outcry and adverse reactions surrounding the art presentation.
