This striking hand-painted movie poster for "Power Must Change Hands 2" exemplifies the vibrant and bold artistic style characteristic of Ghanaian cinema advertising.

Cultural and Artistic Significance

The hand-painted movie posters of Ghana are a unique and significant form of African art, emerging in the 1980s to promote mobile cinema screenings across the country. These posters are more than just advertisements; they are cultural artifacts that document the era's cinematic and artistic landscape. Each poster, including this one for "Power Must Change Hands 2," is painted on recycled flour sacks, reflecting both the environmental consciousness and the ingenuity of Ghanaian artists.

As these posters were displayed outdoors in markets, on walls, and at various makeshift cinema venues, they were often subjected to harsh weather conditions. This resulted in the natural wear and tear that gives each surviving poster its distinct character. The use of exaggerated and imaginative scenes—sometimes not even present in the movie itself—adds a layer of artistic interpretation that makes these posters highly collectible. Despite the decline of the mobile cinema industry in the 1990s due to the widespread availability of television, the legacy of these hand-painted posters continues to influence contemporary art and remains celebrated in exhibitions worldwide.
