Cultural and Artistic Significance
Ghanaian hand-painted movie posters are a significant form of African art, emerging from the country’s mobile cinema culture of the 1980s. Local artists used recycled flour sacks to create large, colorful posters that were displayed to advertise films in rural areas. These artworks are known for their creativity, often amplifying scenes or characters beyond what appears in the actual movie, giving them a one-of-a-kind appeal. With the decline of mobile cinema in the 1990s, many of these posters became highly collectible items, celebrated for their bold and imaginative depictions of popular films.
