Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for secondary school students. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep uniforms clean and lungs safe. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use professional-grade paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas, making it a perfectly safe and structured environment for students to explore their creative side without any risks.

Do you have rules about what the students can paint?

While our workshops are about letting loose, we maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere. We don't allow any offensive language, tags related to gangs, or inappropriate imagery. Our artists guide students toward constructive themes like school spirit, personal identity, or local Kisumu culture. It's about 'Artivism' and positive expression—showing students that their voices matter and can be shared in a way that builds up the community rather than tearing it down.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the student who has never held a pencil to the aspiring Picasso. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps: from basic lines and 'fills' to advanced shadowing and highlighting. Most students are genuinely surprised by how much they can achieve in just a couple of hours. It’s a great confidence booster for those who don’t consider themselves 'traditionally' artistic.

Where in Kisumu do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring the street art experience directly to your school grounds in Kisumu—usually on the sports field or a paved courtyard. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot if school premises aren't available. We bring all the necessary equipment, including mobile graffiti walls, so we don't need to paint on your actual school buildings (unless you want us to create a permanent mural, of course!). We handle all the setup and cleanup.

How long does a workshop session last?

A typical secondary school session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history of street art, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. We can easily adapt the timing to fit into your school’s double-period blocks or a special activity day schedule. Just let us know your timetable, and we’ll make it work perfectly for your students.

How is this different from a regular art class?

We believe in 'learning by doing.' Unlike a standard art class, our workshops are highly physical and interactive. We focus on the 'culture' of street art as much as the technique, discussing the transition from illegal 'vandalism' to respected 'urban art.' Plus, it’s one of the few art forms where mistakes are just a 'layer' of the process. It’s incredibly liberating for teenagers who often feel pressured to be perfect in other subjects.

How much does a secondary school workshop cost?

Since school groups vary wildly in size—from a small elective art class to an entire year group—we provide bespoke quotes. Factors like the number of students, the duration of the workshop, and whether you want separate canvases or a large communal mural will influence the price. The best part? You don’t have to pay a cent upfront. You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy!

Safety First: Everyone gets geared up! We hand out masks, gloves, and overalls to make sure the only thing getting painted is the wall.
Mastering the Can: Students learn the 'finger-muscle' secrets—how to control pressure, create thin lines, and make fat 'flares'.
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, we help students brainstorm and sketch their ideas, focusing on themes like teamwork or Kisumu pride.
The First Layer: It’s time to fill! Students learn how to apply base colours evenly across their designated sections.
Outline & Detail: This is where the art pops. We teach them how to add crisp outlines and those 'cool' highlights that make graffiti look 3D.
The Grand Finale: The group steps back to see their collective masterpiece. It’s the ultimate 'we did that' moment!
Clean-up & Gallery Walk: We tidy everything up and take professional photos of the students with their work to share with the school.

Local culture

Kisumu is a city with a unique rhythm, and its street art scene is starting to reflect that lakeside soul. From the vibrant matatu culture to the hidden gems of artwork near the Dunga Hill Camp, the "Dala" vibe is all about community and bold expression. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the sights of the lake, the local wildlife, and the city’s legendary sunset hues. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kisumu's name comes from the Luo word "Sumo," which means a place of trade? We like to think of our workshops as a "trade" of ideas and colours, right in the heart of the city! 🛶
