Exhibition: 'Extreme Collision - Hand-Painted Posters from Ghana, 1990s'

Explore the exhibition 'Extreme Collision,' showcasing hand-painted posters from Ghana created during the economic crisis of the late 1980s. This unique collection reflects the creativity and resilience of local artists who, driven by a lack of opportunities, spontaneously created a network of traveling video projections. To attract audiences, they recruited local artists trained in urban business advertising to hand-paint movie posters on cotton flour sacks, which were easy to roll, transport, and display. The exhibition features a selection of posters from the 1990s created by 20 prominent artists of the movement, merging Ghanaian artistic traditions with Western advertising influences. Join us to discover how these works reveal contemporary anxieties and desires through a blend of Bollywood, Hollywood, and local mythologies. The exhibition is free to enter, making it accessible for all art lovers and those interested in cultural history.
