Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We'll show you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. Most people who join us at the Kisangani food festival have never touched a spray can before, yet they walk away with a piece of art they're incredibly proud of. It’s all about having fun and letting your creativity flow!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Health and safety are our top priorities. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely. We use professional-grade low-pressure cans that are much easier and safer for beginners to handle than standard industrial paint.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, it’s always best to be prepared. Since we are in the 'City of Hope', it’s usually warm, so breathable fabrics are a great choice for staying cool while you create.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard festival session usually lasts between 90 minutes to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the basics, practice some techniques, and complete a final collaborative masterpiece. However, we can adapt the timing to fit the festival's schedule, offering shorter 'drop-in' sessions for those who want a quick taste of the street art world between food tastings.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! While we often work on large communal murals to create a big impact, we can also arrange for participants to paint on individual canvases or boards. This way, you have a unique, handmade souvenir to take home from the Kisangani food festival. If you're interested in individual pieces, just let us know when booking so we can bring the right supplies!

Are these workshops suitable for children?

Yes, we love making street art accessible to everyone! For children's groups, we use special water-based spray paint that is low-odour and easy to handle. We recommend our workshops for ages 6 and up. It’s a fantastic way for kids in Kisangani to develop their motor skills and express their vibrant imaginations in a safe, supervised environment.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We bring everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, masks, gloves, protective suits, and the 'canvas' (whether that's a wall, board, or fabric). We also bring our expert instructors who provide guidance and inspiration throughout the session. You just need to bring your energy and a bit of creative spark!

Step by step

Introduction and safety: We start with a quick meet-and-greet where our artists explain the safety rules and how to use the protective gear properly. 🎨
The basics of spray control: Learn how to handle the can, manage finger pressure, and understand the difference between various nozzles for thin or thick lines.
Sketching your ideas: Grab a marker or a piece of chalk and outline your design on the surface. We can help you brainstorm food-themed art! 🥓
Filling in the colours: Start applying your base colours. This is the fun part where the mural really begins to pop with vibrancy.
Adding shadows and highlights: Our pros will show you how to add depth to your graffiti, making your letters or characters look 3D and professional. ✨
The final outline: Define your work with a sharp 'cut' or outline to make the edges crisp and the colours stand out against the background.

Local culture

Kisangani, known as the 'City of Hope' and a vital crossroads of the DRC, has an incredible energy that flows just like the mighty Congo River. Our workshops tap into this local rhythm, celebrating the resilience and creativity of the Kisangani people. From the legendary Wagenia fishermen to the bustling markets filled with local delicacies, we draw inspiration from everything that makes this city unique. Adding a graffiti wall to a food festival here isn't just about art; it's about honouring the vibrant street culture that thrives in the Tshopo region.

Fun Fact: Did you know Kisangani is the third-largest city in the DRC and is often called 'Boyoma' by locals? It's a city with a heart as big as the river it sits on! 🇨🇩
