Bowers Digital Exhibition

"Reel Art: Movie Posters from Ghana"

Bowers.org

Now that so many people are restricted to home movie watching, it's perhaps a better time than ever to nostalgically reminisce on the joy of a trip to our local theater. The 1980s brought the introduction of foreign‐made films and their movie magic to Ghana. Soon enough, an industrious group of entrepreneurs created a VHS rental system with the help of local artists and traveling salesmen. Movies were proffered throughout Ghana and could be rented with a television set, speakers and generator. The crucial part of the salesman's kit was the movie poster. Made from 50-kilo flour sacks and oil‐based paints, these posters enticed locals to rent movies that could be viewed in family homes, open air viewing spaces, and eventually video clubs.
