We need to create more vocal voices to tell our truth to public officers who have not gotten the memo yet- power belongs to those who put them in these offices- US!

I don't think artists can avoid being political. Artists are the proverbial canaries in the coalmine. When we stop singing, it's a sure sign of repressive times ahead. (Theresa Bayer)

Creative expression is a human right.

Jelili is an imaginative performance artist whose provocative spectacles use striking attire, unsettling body language and unusual props to open up dialogue and influence popular attitudes. He drops himself right into the heart of Lagos, into the realities of the streets, of densely populated areas and entices people to interact and respond to his visual presentations.Rooted in Yoruba performance traditions, Atiku brings local elements to international performance practice, creating an extraordinary mix of action, symbolism, storytelling, disguise, costume, colour coding and theatricality. A rigorous researcher, his subjects include commentary on Nigerian human rights in the Assassination of a Political Prisoner; politically charged critiques of the ruling class and Boko Haram; site-specific interventions on climate change, e-waste and fuel subsidies; and Araferaku (loosely translated as A Part of Me is Missing), a moving personal eulogy to his father.

An accomplished, recognized artist is an honor. Repressing artistic expression is a disgrace.

To arrest someone for art, is not only ridiculous but against human rights.

Jelilis performance is an important and valuable contribution to the immediate community and larger creative world. As his work is designed to spur reflection, communication, and discussion, these charges against him are shameful!!
