I’ve never used a spray can before. Can I still participate?

Absolutely! Our Malindi pop-up events are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic ability. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic can control and move on to filling and outlining. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques, and by the end of the session, you'll have created a piece of art you're truly proud of. It’s all about the experience and having a blast!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring that everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while having maximum fun under the Malindi sun.

What should I wear to the pop-up event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on, just in case! While we provide protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Malindi can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. Don't forget your sunglasses and some sunscreen, as we love taking advantage of the beautiful coastal weather!

How long does the workshop experience last?

Our standard graffiti pop-up experiences usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a demonstration, some practice rounds, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this timing is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high without causing 'artist's cramp.' If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can often tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! Your booking includes professional spray cans in a wide array of vibrant colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on—whether that’s individual canvases or a large communal wall. We even bring the inspiration and background music to get those creative juices flowing. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and a 'can-do' attitude!

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Malindi has a tropical climate, so if it rains, we usually have a backup plan. This might involve moving to a covered outdoor area or using a marquee. We monitor the weather closely leading up to the event. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find a suitable indoor alternative. We’re experts at being flexible to ensure your street art experience isn't dampened by a few clouds!

Do you have a fixed location or can you come to us?

We love the flexibility of pop-up events! We can set up at your hotel, a local beach club, a private villa, or even a public square (with the right permits). We’ve hosted events all over Kenya—from the bustling streets of Nairobi to the shores of Mombasa. If you don't have a venue in mind, let us know, and we can suggest some of our favourite spots in Malindi that offer the perfect vibe for street art.

Local culture

Malindi is a town where traditional Swahili culture meets a laid-back international vibe. While it’s famous for the Vasco da Gama Pillar and its incredible marine parks, there’s a growing contemporary art scene that we are thrilled to be part of. Our graffiti pop-up events in Malindi take inspiration from the bright turquoise of the Indian Ocean and the golden sands of Silversands Beach, mixing local tropical aesthetics with classic street art styles. 🌊

Fun fact: Malindi is often called 'Little Italy' because of its large Italian community—don't be surprised if you hear art tips being shared in a mix of Swahili, English, and Italian during our sessions! 🇮🇹🇰🇪

We love setting up near the bustling town centre or along the coastal road, bringing a splash of urban colour to this historic port town. It's a fantastic way to see a different side of Malindi beyond the standard tourist trail.
