Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop at a festival?

Absolutely! While Mbuji-Mayi produces some incredible talent, our music festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned pros. Our friendly artists will guide you through the process, from holding the can correctly to mastering your first tag. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, so you are in great company. Just bring your energy and we will handle the rest!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep those festival outfits clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, especially for beginners. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the entire area to ensure everyone has a blast while staying safe. We also set up designated spray zones to keep the festival grounds tidy.

What should I wear to the graffiti experience?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. Even though we provide protective gear like ponchos and gloves, a stray bit of paint can sometimes find its way onto your trainers. Since you're at a music festival in Mbuji-Mayi, light, breathable fabrics are your best friend! Leave your most expensive designer gear at the hotel and come ready to get messy.

How long does a typical festival session last?

For music festivals, we usually run a 'flow' system. This means people can drop in and out throughout the day. A quick session might take 20 minutes for a simple tag, while more involved participants spend an hour creating a collaborative masterpiece. We adapt to the festival rhythm, ensuring you don't miss your favourite headline act while still getting your creative fix. It’s the perfect mid-day festival activity.

What happens if the artist cannot make it?

We pride ourselves on being the most reliable graffiti workshop provider. In the rare event an artist is unwell, we have a backup team ready to step in. We know how much planning goes into a festival in Kasai-Oriental, so we guarantee we won't let you down. Our 'fun guaranteed' policy means we do whatever it takes to make the experience a highlight of your event.

Do we have to pay for the workshop upfront?

No way! We believe in the quality of our work and the fun of the experience, which is why you only pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps the process stress-free for festival organisers. We will send over a clear invoice after we've packed up the spray cans and seen the smiles on everyone's faces. It's all about trust and making sure you are 100% happy.

What kind of setup do you provide for large festivals?

Our music festival setups are incredibly flexible. We can work on large-scale boards, temporary cellophane walls (wrap-around), or even individual canvases that people can take home as a souvenir. If the festival has a specific theme or local Mbuji-Mayi vibe you want to capture, we can pre-sketch a mural that the crowd helps fill in. We bring everything needed: cans, caps, safety gear, and inspiration!

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi, the diamond capital of the world, is a city built on grit and glittering potential. While the local economy is famous for what lies beneath the earth, the surface culture is just as vibrant. The street art scene here is evolving, blending traditional Congolese patterns with modern urban influences. Hosting a graffiti workshop at a music festival here means tapping into that incredible 'Kasaïen' spirit—it’s bold, colourful, and full of life. After the workshop, don't miss the chance to explore the bustling local markets or take a trip to see the Lac de Bakwanga nearby. 💎
