Cultural and Artistic Significance

Ghanaian hand-painted movie posters are a remarkable form of African art, born out of the necessity to advertise mobile cinema screenings across Ghana. Created on recycled flour sacks, these posters showcase the creativity and resourcefulness of local artists. Each piece is unique, often depicting imaginative interpretations of the films they promote, thus serving as both advertisement and standalone art pieces.

This art form emerged in the 1980s with the advent of video technology in Ghana, leading to the rise of small-scale mobile cinemas. Artists used oil paints on large canvases made from sewn-together flour sacks, adding their own flair to the movie scenes. Despite the decline of the mobile cinema industry in the mid-1990s due to increased access to television and video, these posters remain highly collectible and are celebrated in museums worldwide.
