Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

No previous artistic experience is required for our Kolwezi street art festival workshops! Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading techniques. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned doodler, we tailor the experience to your skill level. Our goal is to ensure you leave feeling proud of your creation and having had a fantastic time experimenting with colours.

What safety equipment is provided during the festival?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the festival environment is well-ventilated and that all participants follow our 'safe-spray' guidelines to keep the fun going without any accidents.

How long does a typical street art session last?

A standard workshop session at the festival usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on spray time for you to complete your masterpiece. If you are part of a larger festival rotation, we can also offer 'express' sessions that capture the essence of street art in a shorter timeframe.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, graffiti can be a messy business, and it is best to be prepared! If you have long hair, tying it back is a good idea. Other than that, just bring your energy and perhaps some inspiration for what you want to create on the day!

Is there an age limit for participants?

The minimum age for our festival workshops is typically 6 years old, as children need to have enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle. We use specialized 'low-pressure' cans for younger participants to make it easier and safer for them. We love seeing kids get involved in street art; it’s a wonderful way for them to express their creativity and learn about a vibrant modern art form in a controlled environment.

Can you handle large groups or entire festival crowds?

Absolutely! We specialize in large-scale events and can accommodate hundreds of participants throughout a festival day. By using multiple artists and rotating groups, we ensure everyone gets a chance to spray. We can even create a 'giant mural' where every festival attendee adds a small part to a massive community artwork. Contact us to discuss the logistics for your specific event size in Kolwezi.

Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We do not require any upfront payment to secure your festival booking. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel completely confident when booking us for your Kolwezi event.!

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city defined by its incredible energy and its status as a global mining powerhouse. But beyond the industrial landscape, there is a burgeoning creative pulse waiting to be tapped! Bringing a street art festival to Kolwezi is about celebrating that local grit and turning it into something beautiful and expressive. We love how the red dust of the region creates a unique backdrop for the neon pops and bold blacks of graffiti art. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Kolwezi sits on some of the world's richest mineral deposits? We like to think of our graffiti workshops as 'creative mining'—digging deep to find the hidden artistic gems within every participant! ✨

As we expand our presence across the DR Congo, from the bustling streets of Kinshasa to the heart of Lubumbashi, we are proud to bring high-calibre street art culture to the people of Kolwezi. Whether you're in the city centre or near the outskirts, we bring the festival spirit to you!
