Money Snakes, Revenge Ghosts, Black Market Body Parts -- join Poster House Chief Curator, Angelina Lippert, as she explores the hidden beliefs and practices of modern Ghanaians as they are revealed in movie posters from the 80s and 90s. This tour focuses on Baptized by Beefcake: The Golden Age of Hand-Painted Movie Posters from Ghana, an exhibition chronicling a brief period in the country's history when Pentecostalism, local superstition, and American pop culture collided to create a multi-layered, over-the-top form of advertising.

She holds an MA in the art of the Russian Avant-Garde from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, and a BA in theology and art history from Smith College. She is the author of The Art Deco Poster, and has lectured at SVA, The Cooper Union, Columbia University, and The Sotheby's Institute of Art. She is also a contributing writer to The Muse by the Clio Awards, where she focuses on the history of advertising design. She is on the Board of Directors of the Ephemera Society of America, and is an editor for Vintage Poster magazine.
