What should I wear to a graffiti workshop at a food festival?

Absolutely! We supply high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks to keep your festival outfit pristine. While our spray paint is designed to stick to the walls, we make sure it doesn't stick to you. It is always a good idea to wear comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty, as the festival grounds in Dar can be lively!

Do I need to be an artist to participate?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through the 'fat cap' and 'skinny cap' basics, helping you create something impressive in minutes. It is all about the vibe, the music, and the food—no previous experience or artistic talent is required to have a blast!

Is it safe to spray paint around food stalls?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced in managing crowds in busy festival environments like those at Mlimani City or the Waterfront, ensuring that everyone sprays safely while keeping the environment clean and the energy high.

How long does a typical festival session last?

The duration is flexible! Most festival-goers spend about 20 to 30 minutes creating a quick masterpiece on our communal walls, but we also offer more in-depth sessions that can last up to an hour. It is designed to be a 'drop-in' style activity so you can grab a snack, paint a tag, and head back to the main stage.

Can we take our artwork home with us?

Yes, we do! Depending on the setup, you can either contribute to a massive communal 'Dar es Salaam' mural or work on individual canvases/boards that you can take home as a unique souvenir. We also offer digital 'Tag Creator' options if you want to share your street art instantly on social media to brag to your friends.

Do you provide workshops in other cities besides Dar?

We are fully mobile! While we love the energy of Dar es Salaam, we also bring our graffiti workshops to food festivals in Dodoma, Mwanza, Arusha, and Mbeya. If there is a festival happening in Tanzania with hungry fans and blank walls, Graffitifun is ready to bring the colour and the spray cans!

Is this activity suitable for children at the festival?

We typically suggest a minimum age of 6 or 7 so they can comfortably hold and press the spray cans. For the younger 'vandal-tots', we often have stencils and water-based markers available so they don't feel left out. It is a fantastic family-friendly activity that keeps the kids entertained while the parents enjoy the local Tanzanian delicacies.

The experience

Why settle for a standard food stall when you can offer a full-blown creative experience? Bringing graffiti to a food festival is like adding pili-pili to a meal—it just makes everything more exciting! Here is why we are the best choice for your Dar event:

Fill & Flow: Use 'fat caps' to fill in large areas of colour quickly, feeling the rhythm of the festival music.
Detailing: Switch to 'skinny caps' to add sharp outlines, highlights, and those all-important street art flares.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, the "Abode of Peace," is a city that dances to the beat of Bongo Flava and the sizzle of street-side Mishkaki. The street art scene here is a beautiful blend of traditional African motifs and modern urban influences. From the colourful murals of Oyster Bay to the hidden gems in Mwenge, Dar is a city that breathes creativity. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, often incorporating Tanzanian patterns and Swahili "tags" into our designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Dar es Salaam is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world? This rapid growth has fuelled a massive surge in local street art, as young artists use the city's changing landscape as their canvas! 🎨

Whether you're holding your festival near the National Museum or close to the sandy stretches of Kigamboni, our graffiti activation fits perfectly into the coastal "Dar" vibe. We love working in cities like Dodoma, Mwanza, Arusha, and Mbeya, but there is an undeniable electricity in the Dar es Salaam air that makes every spray can hiss with excitement!
