Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our workshops are designed to be accessible and fun for beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from safety and nozzle control to creating your first masterpiece. We focus on personal expression and creative discovery rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves Bukavu with a sense of pride in their work.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to protect your clothing. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor environments. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts painting, ensuring a controlled and secure experience for all cultural event participants in Bukavu.

How long does the workshop last?

A standard cultural graffiti session typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of a collaborative mural or individual pieces. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific event schedule if you are hosting a larger festival or community gathering in the city.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to create street art. This includes a wide range of spray paint colours, various cap sizes for different line widths, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and prepared surfaces like canvases or mobile walls. You just need to show up with an open mind and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

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

Bukavu’s weather can be unpredictable. If rain is forecast, we have several options. We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use an indoor space with specialised water-based, low-odour paints that are safe for internal use. If the weather is truly severe, our flexible booking policy allows us to reschedule to a better day or time that suits your group.

How do I pay and is there an upfront deposit?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can pay after the workshop concludes. We accept various payment methods, including bank transfers and local mobile money options common in DR Congo. Our goal is to make the booking process as stress-free and transparent as possible for our local Bukavu clients.
