Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Dar es Salaam. We provide high-quality protective gear, including FFP2 masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are low-odour and as eco-friendly as possible. Before we even touch a can, our professional artists give a comprehensive safety briefing to students. Our instructors are experienced in managing secondary school groups to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast.

What should students wear and do they need to bring anything?

We recommend students wear old clothes and sneakers that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy when the creativity starts flowing! In the Dar heat, lightweight cotton is best. We provide all the professional art supplies, including spray cans, caps, and masks, so you don't need to bring any equipment.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard secondary school workshops in Dar es Salaam usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, sketching, practice, and the final masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, let us know! We are experts at tailoring the duration to fit your morning or afternoon sessions without rushing the artistic process.

Do students need to have prior art skills to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Most students have never held a spray can before, and that’s perfectly fine. Our professional artists will guide them through the basics, from simple lines to complex shading. It’s all about the experience, learning a new medium, and building confidence. You’ll be amazed at the high-quality murals students can create with just a little guidance.

Where in Dar es Salaam do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of our inspiring street art locations across Dar es Salaam. We use mobile "walls" (plastic film or wooden boards) if a permanent wall isn't available, ensuring no permanent mess is left behind.

How does this workshop benefit student teamwork?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building and communication. During the workshop, students often work on a large collaborative mural. This requires them to plan together, share ideas, and coordinate their sections of the piece. It breaks down social barriers, encourages peer-to-peer support, and gives the class a shared sense of pride in a large-scale project they’ve completed as a single unit.

What is the booking process and do we pay in advance?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Start by requesting a quote via our website. Once we've agreed on the date and group size, your booking is confirmed. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and your students are happy. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations.

Outline & Fill: The group begins to transfer their sketches onto the wall or canvas, filling in large areas with vibrant colours.
Detailing & Effects: This is where the magic happens! We teach students how to add highlights, lowlights, and 3D shadows to make their art pop.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam is a city teeming with visual rhythm, from the colourful fabrics of Kariakoo to the evolving street art scene in areas like Msasani and Masaki. Our workshops tap into this local "Bongo" spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the city's unique mix of coastal vibes and urban hustle. We celebrate the "Dar" identity, showing students how global graffiti techniques can be used to tell local Tanzanian stories.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Tingatinga art style originated right here in Dar es Salaam? While traditional, its bold outlines and vibrant colours share a spiritual DNA with modern graffiti art! 🌍🖌️
