Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

Absolutely not! Our workshops in Dar es Salaam are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray painting, from how to hold the can to mastering complex lines. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the right techniques. We’re here to make sure you have a blast while learning a brand-new skill.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves! Think 'casual and practical.' Since we are in the humid climate of Dar es Salaam, light, breathable fabrics are your best friend. Don't worry, even if you get a tiny splash of colour, it’s just a souvenir of your creativity.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-grade masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes, as well as gloves and overalls. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use professional-grade materials and ensure our outdoor or well-ventilated locations in Dar es Salaam meet all safety standards, so you can focus entirely on the fun.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard cultural graffiti experiences usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demonstration of techniques, some practice runs, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are planning a larger festival or a corporate brand activation, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule perfectly. Every minute is packed with energy and creative flow!

What is the maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a unique experience, a small group of friends, or a massive corporate team of 100+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. We love the energy of a big crowd, but we also cherish the focus of smaller, intimate workshops.

Can you host the workshop at my own location?

Yes, we do! While we have several fantastic locations across Dar es Salaam, we are also mobile. If you have a specific venue in mind—like a school playground, a festival ground, or a private garden—we can bring the entire graffiti setup to you. We just need a well-ventilated area and permission to paint (or we can bring our own mobile wooden 'walls' for you to work on).

What exactly is included in the package?

A standard workshop includes a professional artist-instructor, all the spray paint you could possibly need in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and a surface to paint on (either a wall or individual canvases). You just need to bring your enthusiasm and maybe some water to stay hydrated! We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards, leaving you free to enjoy the vibe.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Just fill out our contact form or request a quote via the website. We don't require any upfront payment—you can pay after the workshop is complete and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience. Once you reach out, we’ll check our artist availability and get back to you with a tailored plan for your Dar es Salaam street art adventure.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, the 'Abode of Peace,' is a city that never stops moving. While traditional Tingatinga art is famous globally, there is a fresh, edgy street art movement bubbling under the surface in areas like Oyster Bay and Masaki. Our workshops celebrate this fusion of heritage and modern urban expression. We don't just teach you to paint; we connect you with the rhythm of the city.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Dar es Salaam is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world? This rapid growth has turned the city into a massive canvas where new stories are being told through murals and street art every single day! 🎨
