Misplaced violence best describes Canon Griffin Rumanzi’s photography exhibition under way at Goethe-Zentrum, Ugandan German Cultural Society, and Alliance Francaise in Kampala.

Aphotograph of the presidential candidate Yoweri Museveni pasted over that of his political rival Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine with half of Museveni’s face with the eyes, one ear and his signature big hat, while for Bobi Wine it is his one ear, mouth and chin — resulting from the vandalisation of the two posters.
