Do I need to be artistic to join a pop-up workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners of all ages. We start with the basics of how to hold a spray can and move on to advanced techniques like shading and outlining. Most people in Mbuji-Mayi are surprised at how quickly they can create a masterpiece with just a little guidance from our friendly team.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also use low-odour professional spray paint whenever possible and always ensure our pop-up locations have excellent ventilation. Our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard pop-up workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final piece. However, because this is a pop-up event, we can adapt the timing to fit your specific needs, whether it's a quick 45-minute 'taster' session or a full-day immersive street art experience.

Where exactly do these pop-up events take place?

We pride ourselves on being flexible! We can set up in various locations across Mbuji-Mayi, from local community centres and car parks to school fields or private event spaces. We use mobile graffiti walls or large canvases, so we don't need to paint on permanent structures. As long as there is enough space for your group and good airflow, we can make the magic happen.

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

Rain won't stop the creativity! If the weather looks shaky, we can often move the workshop under a marquee or into a well-ventilated indoor space. Because we are a professional outfit with backup artists and flexible equipment, we always have a plan B ready to go. We'll coordinate with you to ensure the event goes ahead smoothly, regardless of the Congolese weather.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, street art can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s all part of the fun! Other than your enthusiasm and a 'can-do' attitude, we provide everything else you need to become a graffiti pro.

How do I book a pop-up event for my group?

Booking is easy! Simply fill out our contact form or use our online cost calculator to get an instant estimate. We don’t require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete. This reflects our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Once you're happy with the quote, we'll lock in the date and start prepping your bespoke Mbuji-Mayi street art experience.

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city known for its incredible resilience and the sparkle of its diamond trade, but there's a different kind of brilliance emerging in its streets—creative expression. While the city's architecture tells a story of industry, our graffiti pop-up events add a splash of contemporary colour to the local vibe. We love setting up near the bustling markets or community hubs where the energy of the 'Diamond City' is at its peak. 💎

Fun fact: Did you know that Mbuji-Mayi’s name translates to "Goat Water"? It comes from the confluence of the Mbuji and Mayi rivers. Just like these two rivers meeting, our workshops are where local Congolese passion meets international street art style! ✨

Whether we're setting up in the Dibindi or Diulu communes, the local enthusiasm for new forms of art is always infectious. We're proud to bring this modern art form to such a culturally rich part of DR Congo.
