Ghanaian hand-painted movie posters are a distinctive form of African art, emerging in the 1980s alongside the rise of mobile cinema. Local artists, often painting on recycled flour sacks, created these posters to promote films in communities lacking access to traditional advertising mediums. Each poster is a one-of-a-kind piece, reflecting the artist's personal vision and the cultural context of the time. This practice not only provided employment for artists but also fostered a unique artistic tradition that continues to be celebrated for its creativity and cultural relevance.
