Cultural and Artistic Significance

Ghanaian hand-painted movie posters are a remarkable form of African art, originating from the need to advertise mobile cinema screenings in Ghana. These posters are traditionally painted on recycled flour sacks by local artists, who often add their own interpretations and embellishments to scenes from the movies. This practice began in the 1980s with the arrival of video technology in Ghana and the subsequent rise of mobile cinemas. Artists used oil paints to create large, vibrant posters that were displayed in various locations to attract audiences. Over time, these posters have become highly collectible and are celebrated for their cultural and artistic value. Despite their decline in the mid-1990s due to the advent of cheaper printing methods, the surviving posters remain a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of Ghanaian artists.
