Is the graffiti workshop suitable for children at the festival?

Our food festival workshops in Mwanza are designed for everyone! Whether you are a toddler picking up a spray can for the first time or a grandparent looking to try something new, our artists adapt the session to suit all skill levels and ages. We use water-based paints for the younger ones and provide full guidance to ensure everyone creates something they are proud of while having a blast.

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our professional street artists specialize in helping complete beginners find their rhythm. We start with the basics of nozzle control and simple lines before moving on to more complex tagging and filling techniques. By the time your food has settled, you'll have created a piece of art that looks like it belongs in a professional street art gallery. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Can we just show up and join in at the festival?

While we encourage booking in advance to guarantee your slot, we often have 'walk-in' stations at larger Mwanza food festivals. These shorter sessions allow you to try your hand at spraying a quick tag or helping with a communal mural. However, for the full workshop experience where you get to design and paint your own canvas to take home, we recommend checking our schedule and pre-booking.

What safety gear do you provide for the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with protective suits and gloves to keep your festival outfit clean. We also use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for all participants and nearby festival-goers.

How long does a typical festival session last?

Standard festival workshop sessions usually last between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the event format. This gives you enough time to learn the technique and finish a piece without missing out on the rest of the festival's culinary delights. We can also organize full-day 'open-booth' styles where the community contributes to a giant mural throughout the entire event.

Can you create a custom mural for our food event?

Absolutely! For food festivals in Mwanza, we love creating 'live art' where our artists paint a massive mural themed around the event's food and culture. This provides great entertainment for guests as they eat. We can even leave sections open for attendees to contribute, making it a truly collaborative community project that serves as a stunning backdrop for photos and social media posts.

Do you provide the walls, or do we need a venue with space?

We are fully mobile! While we have our own preferred spots in Mwanza, we can set up at almost any outdoor festival ground. All we need is a flat surface and a bit of space to breathe. We bring our own mobile graffiti walls, so we don't need existing walls to paint on. We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving the venue exactly as we found it.

Local culture

Mwanza, known for its iconic Bismarck Rock and stunning lakeside views, has a creative heartbeat that is truly unique. In recent years, the street art scene in Tanzania has exploded, and Mwanza is no exception. Incorporating graffiti into a food festival here isn't just about the art; it's about celebrating the local "Karibu" spirit through a modern, urban lens.

Our artists often draw inspiration from the local landscape—the deep blues of the lake, the rugged texture of the rocks, and the bright patterns of Vitenge fabrics. Bringing this art form to a festival setting allows locals and visitors alike to connect with the city's youthful energy in a hands-on way.

Fun Fact: Did you know that graffiti-style murals are becoming a popular way for local Mwanza businesses to tell their stories? By adding a workshop to your festival, you're tapping into the city's fastest-growing art movement! 🇹🇿
