Great Big Story | These Ghanaian artists make film posters like nothing you’ve ever seen before 🇬🇭🤯 #art #shorts @GreatBigStory | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
We don’t remember Garfield having weapons and did Groundhog Day really have a GIANT groundhog eating humans?!

A handful of highly skilled artists in Ghana are behind some of the most imaginative, beautiful and exaggerated film posters. These posters are hilarious, captivating, colorful and highly impressive. So much so, that they’ve become a worldwide sensation!

Whilst you may disregard these as misleading bootlegs, anthropologist Dr. Joseph Oduro-Frimpong believes that these posters are vital artifacts of Ghanaian art, history and culture. And he should know, he’s collected over one hundred of them. We begin Black History Month with this story exploring the incredible talent Ghana has to offer…

Special thanks to the Ashesi Center for African Popular Culture.
