What kind of paint do you use for the workshop?

For our cultural events in Goma, we use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints. These paints are designed to be vibrant and long-lasting on various surfaces while being safer for participants. We also provide high-quality masks and gloves to ensure everyone stays clean and protected. Our artists will guide you on how to handle the cans properly to get those crisp lines and smooth blends like a pro!

Do I need to have previous art experience?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Goma have never touched a spray can before. Our workshops are designed to be beginner-friendly, starting with basic techniques like 'tagging' and 'filling' before moving on to more complex pieces. Our professional artists are there every step of the way to offer tips, tricks, and encouragement. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours!

What should I wear to the graffiti event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Goma’s weather can be unpredictable, it’s also a good idea to bring a light jacket or sun protection if we are working at an outdoor cultural site.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard cultural workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule for your event in the city, we can often tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Is the workshop safe for children and families?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 masks to prevent inhalation of fumes and nitrile gloves. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We also ensure that our workshop locations in Goma are well-ventilated. Children are always supervised, and we use water-based paints upon request for younger groups or specific indoor venues.

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

The Great Lakes region occasionally brings rain! If your event is scheduled outdoors and the weather doesn't play ball, we usually try to move to a covered area or an indoor studio space. Because we have local backup artists and a flexible team, we can often reschedule or adapt the format so the creative fun doesn't have to stop just because of a downpour.

What group sizes can you accommodate?

Our workshops are very flexible. We can accommodate small intimate groups of 5-10 people, or large-scale community events with over 100 participants. For larger groups in Goma, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and guidance. Whether it's a small family gathering or a major city festival, we’ve got the kit and the crew to handle it!
