Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Nigeria is a diverse nation with multiple ethnic and religious groups coexisting across its regions. Tudun Wada Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State is an exemplary model of religious tolerance, where various religious communities—predominantly Islam and Christianity—have coexisted peacefully for generations. However, despite this peaceful coexistence, religious conflicts and intolerance remain a significant concern in certain parts of Nigeria. Photography, as a tool for documentation, can play a pivotal role in highlighting and preserving stories of interfaith harmony, showcasing instances of religious tolerance, and promoting unity. By capturing moments of interfaith collaboration, shared community events, and peaceful coexistence, photography can act as a visual testament to the importance of religious tolerance. This study investigates the role of photography in documenting religious tolerance in Tudun Wada LGA, focusing on how visual media can contribute to promoting peace and understanding in a religiously diverse community.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Religious intolerance continues to plague several regions in Nigeria, with increasing tensions sometimes undermining the peace and stability of communities. While Tudun Wada LGA is known for its peaceful coexistence between religious groups, there is limited visual documentation of these positive relationships. Photography can serve as a vital tool in documenting instances of religious tolerance and promoting the idea of peaceful coexistence. However, the role of photography in this context remains underutilized and has yet to be fully explored. This study seeks to examine how photography can document religious tolerance in Tudun Wada LGA and contribute to its advocacy.
