In Ghana, a group of young adults sparked controversy by staging a photoshoot in a public park. The individuals, known as “Posers,” were seen striking elaborate poses by an inflatable paddling pool, dressed in extravagant outfits and accessories. The incident took place last Saturday afternoon at Green Park in Accra, attracting the attention of onlookers and social media users alike.
The Posers, who are influencers on social media platforms, defended their actions as a form of art and self-expression. According to their spokesperson, the photoshoot was intended to promote body positivity and creativity among young people in Africa. They argued that their unconventional approach to photography challenges traditional beauty standards and encourages others to embrace their uniqueness.
However, not everyone was impressed by the Posers’ unconventional photo session. Some park visitors and local residents criticized the group for disrupting the peaceful atmosphere of the public space. They expressed concerns about potential damage to the park’s property and questioned the appropriateness of the Posers’ behavior in a family-friendly environment.
Park authorities have stated that while they support artistic expression, they expect park visitors to respect the rules and regulations in place. They emphasized the importance of maintaining the park as a safe and welcoming place for all members of the community.
The Posers have since apologized for any inconvenience caused and have pledged to collaborate with park officials on future creative projects. Despite the mixed reactions to their photoshoot, the group remains committed to using their platform to inspire others and spark meaningful conversations about art and identity in Africa.
