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

Explore the exhibition 'Extreme Collision', showcasing hand-painted movie posters from Ghana in the 1990s. This unique collection reflects the economic crisis Ghana faced in the late 1980s, which led to a creative response from local entrepreneurs who started a network of mobile video screenings. To attract audiences, they recruited local artists trained in urban advertising to hand-paint posters on cotton flour sacks, which were easy to roll, transport, and display. The exhibition features a selection of works by 20 prominent artists from this movement, blending Ghanaian artistic traditions with Western advertising influences from VHS covers. Discover how Bollywood, Hollywood, and Hong Kong cinema intersect with local mythologies, revealing contemporary anxieties and desires in Ghana.
