Do I need to be an artist to participate at the food festival?

Not at all! Our professional artists specialize in helping complete beginners find their rhythm. We use a 'follow-the-leader' approach where we sketch the basics, and you bring the flavour with the spray cans. In Mbuji-Mayi, we focus on the joy of creation rather than technical perfection. By the end of the festival, you'll be amazed at how professional your piece looks, even if you’ve never held a can before.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and masks. However, graffiti is a messy business! We always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Since Mbuji-Mayi can be warm, we suggest light, breathable fabrics under the protective suits so you stay cool while you're getting creative in the sun.

Is the spray paint safe to use around food?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary respiratory protection. Our lead artists are highly experienced in managing large crowds at festivals, ensuring that the painting area is well-ventilated and kept at an appropriate distance from the food stalls to keep everyone safe and the atmosphere clean.

How long does a typical festival session last?

A standard mini-workshop session usually lasts between 20 to 45 minutes, allowing for high turnover so more festival-goers can join in. For larger collaborative mural projects, the activity can run throughout the entire duration of the food festival. We tailor the timing based on your specific event schedule in Mbuji-Mayi to ensure maximum participation and engagement.

Where in Mbuji-Mayi do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! Most of our events take place at the main festival grounds or public squares in Mbuji-Mayi. We can set up our mobile graffiti walls virtually anywhere that has enough space and ventilation. If you have a specific venue in mind, just let us know, and we will handle the logistics of bringing the art studio to you.

How many people can join the graffiti session at once?

The more, the merrier! Our festival setup is designed for high-capacity interaction. We can manage small groups of 10 for intimate sessions or facilitate hundreds of participants throughout a festival day using our 'revolving door' workshop style. We provide enough artists and materials to ensure that no one is left waiting too long to make their mark.

Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?

Absolutely! We encourage food festivals to choose themes that reflect the local culture of Mbuji-Mayi or the specific cuisine being served. Whether it's painting giant fruits, traditional patterns, or modern street-style typography, we can pre-sketch a design that fits your festival's branding perfectly. It makes for a fantastic social media backdrop!

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city built on grit and shimmering potential, much like the diamonds it's famous for. Bringing street art here is about more than just paint; it’s about celebrating the incredible resilience and vibrant energy of the local community. The city's bustling markets and "Mayeri" spirit provide the perfect backdrop for a creative explosion. Our workshops often incorporate local patterns and bold colours that reflect the Congolese love for life and expression.

Fun fact: Mbuji-Mayi is one of the fastest-growing urban centres in DR Congo. While it grew because of the diamond trade, the real gems here are the local artists and the incredible street food scene!
