Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our anti-vandalism program in Jijiga is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those who have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every single step, ensuring you feel confident and creative. We focus on technique, safety, and fun, so you can leave with a piece of art you’re proud of and a new appreciation for street culture.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for quality and used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure a controlled environment where everyone can express themselves safely while learning the proper way to handle equipment and respect public spaces.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard anti-vandalism workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic spray techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual masterpiece. If you are organizing a school event or a community project in Jijiga, we can customize the duration to fit your specific schedule and learning objectives perfectly.

What materials are included in the price?

We bring everything you need! The workshop fee includes premium spray cans in a wide variety of colors, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces we will be painting on, such as canvases or designated practice walls. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and bring your creative energy to the streets of Jijiga!

How does this program specifically prevent vandalism?

By providing a legal and constructive outlet for creativity, we teach participants the difference between destructive tagging and intentional street art. Our program focuses on 'artistic respect'—understanding where it is appropriate to paint and where it is not. Many participants in Jijiga find that once they have a proper venue to express themselves, the urge to engage in unauthorized vandalism significantly decreases.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible! While we often work with groups of 10 to 30 people to ensure everyone gets personal attention from our artists, we can accommodate larger groups for festivals or school events by bringing in additional backup artists. Whether it's a small team-building session or a large community-wide initiative in the heart of the Somali region, we can scale the experience to meet your needs.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Jijiga's weather is usually great, but if it rains, we have backup plans! We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation using water-based, low-odor spray paints. We also have a large network of backup artists, so we guarantee that your event will never be cancelled due to staff illness. Your creative journey is safe with us!
