A group of artists in Denmark is organizing an exhibition about "martyrs" throughout history in which they intend to present the terrorist attackers from Brussels and Paris, about which the police have been informed.
It is about the brothers Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraui who activated the bombs in Brussels on March 22 and Fued Mohamed-Agad who blew himself up in the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on November 14.
The installation will have the look of a museum and will use images of "martyrs", replicas of their belongings with an explanation of who they are, reports AFP.
The suicide bombers will be depicted alongside historical figures believed to have died for their beliefs, such as French heroine Joan of Arc and Greek philosopher Socrates, said Ida Grarup Nielsen of the Other Eye of the Tiger art association.
"The curator will talk about Fued Mohamed-Agad and the events at the Bataclan with accompanying sounds and lighting," she told AFP.
As she stated, the story will be told "more from his point of view".
There is no curatorial story scheduled for the al-Bakraui brothers, but their photos and replicas of items, including the black leather glove Ibrahim wore when he detonated the bomb, will be shown on screen.
The exhibition is scheduled to run from May 26 to June 10 at a location used by a theater group whose artistic director Kristian Lolik sparked controversy in 2012 for staging a play based on the manifesto of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Bering Breivik.
"Our exhibition aims to describe the term martyr from as many different angles as possible throughout history," Nielsen said, adding that everyone is a hero in their own story.
A member of the ruling Danish party, Diego Gugljota, today reported the event and its organizers to the police for "encouraging terror".
Portraying international terrorists as heroes could make some people take the final step and join a terrorist organization, he wrote on Facebook.
