ghana film posters
In the 1980s video cassette technology made it possible for “mobile cinema” operators in Ghana to travel from town to town and village to village creating temporary cinemas. In order to promote these showings, artists were hired to paint large posters of the films & were given the artistic freedom to paint the posters as they desired – often adding elements that weren’t in the actual films, or without even having seen the movies.
this is how to do it
remember my post about bicycles? how cool are these ladies from burkina faso. did you know, almost 55 million bikes have been made this year so far?
