Do I need to be an artist or have previous experience to join?

Absolutely no prior art experience is needed! Our retreat workshops in Likasi are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and moving up to complex layering. It’s all about letting go of perfectionism and enjoying the tactile, exciting process of creating street art in a supportive environment.

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated spaces, and our artists are trained to ensure a secure environment for all participants. We use professional-grade spray paint, so you get the best results while staying fully protected throughout the creative process.

How long does the retreat workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice on plastic walls, and the final creation of your masterpiece on a canvas or dedicated wall space. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day retreat experience, we can certainly customise the schedule to fit your group's specific needs.

What should I wear to the graffiti retreat in Likasi?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective body suits and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'creative comfort'—something that allows you to move freely while you’re reaching high or bending low to get those perfect spray angles on your artwork.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

The weather in the Lualaba Province can be unpredictable! If we have planned an outdoor session and it rains, we usually have several backup plans. We can move the retreat to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Our goal is to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted, so we always coordinate with local Likasi venues to have a 'Plan B' ready for any weather.

Do we get to keep the artwork we create during the session?

Yes, you do! In our retreat workshops, we often work on individual canvases that you can take home as a souvenir of your Likasi experience. If the group works on a large communal mural, we make sure to take high-quality photos of the finished work for everyone. It’s a fantastic way to remember the breakthrough moments and the fun you had with the team.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the heart of Likasi? Because art is the best way to break down barriers and spark innovation! Here’s why our workshops stand out:

🚀 Boosted Morale: Nothing beats the rush of spraying 400ml of pure colour onto a wall for the first time!
🤝 Real Connection: Forget boring meetings—bond over colour schemes and 'wildstyle' lettering.
🧠 Stress Relief: The rhythmic 'shake-shake' of the cans is surprisingly therapeutic.
🏆 Pro Guidance: Learn from the best artists in the DR Congo who live and breathe street culture.
💎 Zero Risk: With our backup artist guarantee and pay-later policy, your event is in safe hands.
🌍 Local Impact: We celebrate the unique spirit of Likasi in every piece we create.

Step by step

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your pro artist guide and get settled into the creative atmosphere of our Likasi venue.
The tag creator session: Start by brainstorming your 'tag' or artist name. It’s all about finding your unique street art identity!
Safety and gear up: Pop on your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We’ll show you how to handle the cans like a professional.

Filling and fading: Bring your piece to life with vibrant colours, learning how to blend shades for that iconic 'street' look.

Local culture

Likasi is a city built on grit and industry, but beneath its mining heritage lies a growing thirst for contemporary expression. Known as the 'Ville de Jade' because of its historical connection to the green-hued ores of the region, Likasi's landscape is a fascinating mix of rugged industrial sites and lush surroundings. Our workshops tap into this unique energy, encouraging you to use bold colours that contrast with the city’s red-earth dusty roads.

Fun Fact: Did you know Likasi was originally named Jadotville? Today, it's a vital hub in the DR Congo, and its central location makes it a melting pot where traditional Katangan culture meets modern urban influences—perfect inspiration for a graffiti mural! 🧱✨
