Is the graffiti activity safe for festival-goers?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paints that are designed for performance, but we prioritise safety above all else. For our Lubumbashi food festival workshops, we provide high-grade respiratory masks and protective gloves. Our professional artists supervise every spray, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. It’s all the thrill of street art with none of the risk!

How much space do you need at the festival grounds?

We are incredibly flexible. Whether you want a small 'drop-in' station next to a food truck or a massive 'wall of fame' near the main stage, we can scale to fit. Typically, we need a flat surface and a bit of ventilation. We bring our own mobile walls if the venue doesn't have suitable surfaces, ensuring your festival layout remains pristine.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Nope! That’s the beauty of Graffitifun. Our artists are expert teachers who can help a complete novice create something stunning in minutes. We use techniques like stencils and guided sketching so that even people who think they aren't 'artistic' walk away feeling like the next Banksy. It’s all about the experience and the energy!

How long does a typical session last?

For food festivals, we found that 'rotating sessions' work best. This means guests can join for 15-20 minutes to contribute to a mural or spend an hour on their own canvas. We can also run structured 90-minute masterclasses for VIP ticket holders. We customise the tempo to match the 'flow' of your specific event in Lubumbashi.

Will my clothes get stained during the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide professional-grade protective ponchos and gloves to keep those festival outfits looking sharp. While we always recommend not wearing your absolute favourite designer gear to a paint event, our gear does a fantastic job of blocking any stray overspray. You create the art; we keep you clean.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

The Congolese weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor festivals in Lubumbashi, we usually arrange for a marquee or a covered area. If the weather turns, we can move the creative fun underغيرة cover so the rain doesn't dampen the spirits (or the paint). We always have a 'Plan B' ready to ensure the show goes on.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Lubumbashi food event? Because 'boring' isn't in our vocabulary! Here is why we are the talk of the town: 🔥

The ultimate 'grammable moment: Your guests won't be able to stop posting photos of their creations, giving your festival massive social media reach. 📸
Engagement that sticks: Unlike passive entertainment, we get people moving, creating, and laughing together. 🤝
Expert local knowledge: Our artists know the Lubumbashi scene and can tailor the art style to suit the local aesthetic. 🇿🇷

Step by step

Initial creative consultation: We chat about your festival's vibe, theme, and specific location in Lubumbashi to design the perfect art activation.
Setup and protection: Our team arrives early to set up mobile graffiti walls, floor protection, and our 'colour bar' of premium spray cans.
Artist demonstration: Our pro street artists kick things off with a high-energy demo, showing off techniques like fading, outlining, and 'fat cap' flares.
The 'flavour' sketch: We help participants sketch out food-related icons—think piri-piri chillies or local Lubumbashi treats—using easy-to-follow guides.
The first spray: Under our guidance, guests start filling in their designs, learning how to control the can pressure and distance for the best effect.
Detailing and highlights: We teach the 'pro secrets' of adding highlights and shadows to make the artwork pop off the wall.
Collaborative mural: Everyone contributes to a massive communal masterpiece that grows throughout the festival day.
Photo op and cleanup: We finish with a group photo in front of the art, then handle all the cleanup so you don't have to worry about a thing!

Duration: Flexible! We offer anything from 2-hour bursts to all-day 8-hour residencies.
Group size: We can handle anything from 10-person VIP groups to 500+ festival-goers in a 'drop-in' format.

Safety: Full risk assessments provided; we use child-friendly paint options if requested and always prioritise proper ventilation.
Weather: We have experienced 'backup' plans and can set up under gazebos or indoor-adapted spaces if the weather turns.
