Controversy

In the month of June 2016 Mutamba curated a controversial Photography exhibition in Harare entitled Object of Desire which focused on the nude human form. In support of his work he comments that nudity expresses "our common and universal element as humans."[1][2][3][4][5] In 2014 his work Silent Voices, a collection of 15 black and white photographs on canvas depicting Zimbabwean children, was exhibited at the Harare International Festival of the Arts.[6]
