Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants with special needs?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors in Dar es Salaam are specially trained to supervise different ability levels, ensuring that every participant can focus entirely on having a great time in a controlled and supportive setting. We also ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and accessible.

Do participants need previous art experience?

Not at all! Our special needs workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. Our professional artists lead the group through simple, fun techniques that produce impressive results quickly. We focus on the joy of movement, the vibration of the colours, and the satisfaction of creating something unique. It’s all about the experience and self-expression, not about being a 'perfect' artist.

Are the workshops wheelchair accessible?

Yes, we take accessibility very seriously. When booking your session in Dar es Salaam, please let us know about any specific mobility requirements. We select venues that are wheelchair friendly and can set up our 'canvas' walls at various heights to ensure everyone can reach their workspace comfortably. We are committed to making sure no one is left out of the creative process.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. However, we are completely flexible. We understand that some groups may prefer a faster-paced burst of energy, while others might need more time for breaks and sensory adjustment. We can tailor the rhythm of the workshop to match the concentration levels and physical needs of your specific group.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of vibrant spray cans, protective overalls or ponchos, gloves, and high-quality masks. We also bring the 'canvas' (which could be boards or plastic film) and all necessary inspiration materials. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your date in Dar es Salaam. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process and ensures you get exactly what you hoped for.

Can the workshop be adapted for different types of disabilities?

The beauty of street art is its versatility. Our artists are experienced in adapting their teaching style for various needs, including physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or sensory sensitivities. By using larger movements or alternative tools, we ensure everyone can participate. If you have specific concerns, just chat with us, and we will create a bespoke plan for your group.

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a warm welcome and a breakdown of the safety gear. Everyone gets kitted out in their protective suits and masks.
Colour Selection: Participants get to choose their favourite colours from our huge range of spray cans. This is often the most exciting part!
Can Control: We teach the basics of how to hold and press the spray can, making sure everyone feels comfortable with the pressure and distance.
First Lines & Shapes: We start with simple lines, dots, and circles on the practice wall to build confidence and muscle memory.
Creative Theme: We introduce a simple theme or a collaborative mural concept where everyone’s contribution fits together.
Filling & Shading: We learn how to fill in large areas with colour and even try some basic 'fades' or colour blending.
Adding Details: Using different nozzles (caps), we add some final 'flair' or outlines to make the artwork pop.
Group Photos: We celebrate! We take photos of the participants with their masterpieces to capture the memories forever.
Clean Up: We handle the tidy-up, leaving you with nothing but great vibes and amazing photos.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, the "Haven of Peace," is a city bursting with rhythm and colour, from the bustling markets of Kariakoo to the gentle waves at Coco Beach. While the city is famous for its Tingatinga paintings, there is a growing street art movement that reflects the modern energy of Bongo Flava culture. Our workshops tap into this urban spirit, providing a modern platform for expression that feels uniquely "Dar." We love bringing our sessions to different corners of the city, inspired by the mix of traditional heritage and contemporary street life.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "Bongo" in Bongo Flava (Tanzania's signature music style) actually means "brains" or "smart"? It reflects the street-smart creativity of Dar es Salaam—the same clever spirit we encourage in our graffiti participants! 🎨

Pricing

Because every group has different requirements—from the number of participants to specific accessibility needs—we provide bespoke quotes. Prices depend on group size and setup, ensuring you get the best value for your specific event.

No stress: You don't need to pay anything until after the workshop! We are confident you'll love it.
