Will I get paint on my clothes during the food festival?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paint that dries quickly, but we provide all participants with protective ponchos and gloves to keep your festival attire clean. While the paint is permanent on the walls or canvases we bring, we take every precaution to ensure it doesn't end up on your clothes. We recommend wearing something comfortable that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, just in case!

Do we need to provide a wall for the graffiti workshop?

For food festivals in Kolwezi, we usually set up large mobile 'cling-film' walls or wooden canvases. This means we can create massive pieces of art without leaving any permanent marks on the festival grounds. It’s a 'leave no trace' approach that gives the event a professional street art look while keeping the venue managers happy. We bring everything needed, including the 'walls' themselves!

I have never used a spray can before. Can I still join in?

The great thing about our workshops is that they are totally beginner-friendly! Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the can to master-shading. Whether you are a total novice or a secret doodler, you will walk away having created something you're proud of. It’s all about the experience, the music, and the food!

Is the spray paint safe to use around food stalls?

Safety is our top priority. We provide masks and gloves, and we always set up our graffiti stations in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the open-air food festivals in Lualaba Province. Our artists are trained to supervise the equipment at all times, ensuring a fun, secure environment for both kids and adults to unleash their inner Banksy.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard festival activations usually run for 2 to 3 hours, but we are completely flexible! We can run shorter 'drop-in' sessions for high-traffic events where people spend 15 minutes tagging a section, or longer, deep-dive workshops for smaller groups. We work around your festival schedule to ensure maximum participation without interrupting the main food events.

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Yes, we do! If you want a specific theme—like 'The Flavors of Kolwezi' or a focus on Congolese cuisine—we can pre-sketch the outlines to match. This helps guide the participants towards a cohesive, stunning mural that celebrates the local culture and the delicious food being served at the festival. Customisation is what we do best!

Preparation & Safety: We set up the designated 'Art Zone' with protective floor coverings and safety gear. You’ll be suited up with gloves and a mask to stay clean!
The Basics of the Can: Our pro artists show you how to handle the spray can. You'll learn about nozzle pressure, distance, and how to get those clean lines.
Sketching the Vision: Whether we're riffing on a food theme or going freestyle, we start by sketching the 'bones' of the mural using light colours.
Filling it In: This is the fun part! Everyone grabs a can and starts filling in the large areas with vibrant colours. No boring white spaces allowed!
Outlining & Detail: We teach you how to 'cut' lines and add sharp outlines to make the shapes pop against the background.
Shading & Highlights: Learn the secrets of 3D effects. We’ll show you where to add shadows and highlights to give the art depth.
The Finishing Touches: We add the 'flare'—highlights, bubbles, or stars—to make the piece truly sparkle.
The Big Reveal: We step back, remove the tape, and admire the collective masterpiece created by the festival-goers.
Photo Op: Grab your food, stand by the mural, and get that perfect shot for the 'gram!

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city on the move, known as the mining capital but rapidly growing into a vibrant hub of culture and gastronomy. From the busy markets near the city centre to the more relaxed atmospheres of the Lualaba suburbs, there is a unique energy here that deserves to be captured in paint. Our graffiti workshops tap into this local spirit, blending the industrial strength of the region with the colourful, festive nature of Congolese food culture. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kolwezi is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in DR Congo? It’s the perfect place to introduce modern street art to traditional celebrations!

By bringing street art to your food festival, we celebrate the 'Manono' spirit—creativity, resilience, and community. Whether we're splashing colours near the Manika market area or at a private venue, we make sure the art reflects the soul of Kolwezi. 🌍

Pricing

We believe great art should be accessible. Our pricing is flexible to match the scale of your food festival, whether it's an intimate VIP lounge or a massive public field.

Estimated price range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person.

Please note that total costs depend on the number of participants, the duration of the event, and the amount of materials required. We offer special packages for schools, festivals, and large-scale public events. 💸
