In Ghana, in Africa, these posters are used in villages with no electricity gathering in mobile “video clubs” to watch VHS tapes in an A / V configuration powered by a gas generator.
As it lacks modern printing materials, the local entrepreneurs hire artists who generally have not even seen the movies.
Many types of cards are already available on Ebay or Amazon, and the original artists earn commission on sales.
The success of these posters is so great that they even won an exhibition last year (2016) in Philadelphia.
I love writing about cats, dogs, inspiring stories, talented artists, and incredible photographers. One of the things I love most about my work is discovering people, projects, and stories that deserve to be seen - and having the honor of introducing them to readers around the world.
That’s what makes Bored Panda so special to me: it can turn a small story, a photograph, or the work of a little-known artist into something seen, shared, and appreciated by millions of people. Being part of that bridge between those who create and those on the other side of the world ready to be inspired is a privilege.
I only have one complaint: days should have 48 hours. There are too many stories to discover, too many talents to meet, and a whole world of incredible things I still want to share. 🐾❤️
