Cultural and Artistic Significance
Ghanaian hand-painted movie posters are a unique form of African art that originated from the necessity to advertise mobile cinema screenings across Ghana. These posters are painted on recycled flour sacks by local artists, highlighting their creativity and resourcefulness. Each poster is distinct, often featuring exaggerated scenes to entice viewers.
This art form began in the 1980s with the advent of video cassettes in Ghana, leading to the creation of mobile cinemas. Operators would travel with a television, video player, and sometimes a generator, showing films in various locations, from social clubs to open-air spaces. To attract audiences, they commissioned large, colorful posters painted by talented artists using oil paints on stitched-together flour sacks.
Over time, these posters have gained international recognition and have been exhibited in museums worldwide. However, due to the harsh conditions of their use—being folded, transported, and exposed to the elements—many posters have been damaged or destroyed. Despite the decline of the mobile cinema business in the mid-1990s, these posters remain highly collectible and cherished for their artistic and cultural value.
