I have zero artistic talent, can I still participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Tshikapa are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create a piece of art that looks professional and vibrant. No drawing skills are required—just an open mind and a bit of energy!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor festival environments. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and that everyone has a fun, risk-free experience while making their mark on the city.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Standard workshop sessions at the Tshikapa festival usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques on plastic films, and then move on to the final masterpiece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep the energy high and the creativity flowing without anyone getting tired. Plus, it leaves plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the festival vibes!

What do I need to bring with me to the festival?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide array of colourful spray cans, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the festival's designated painting surfaces. You don't need to bring any supplies at all—just wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, and we'll handle the rest!

What happens if it rains during the street art festival?

Tshikapa weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! If we encounter light rain, we often work under high-quality gazebos or within festival tents. If the weather is too severe, we have a flexible rescheduling policy. Because we have multiple backup artists available in the Kasai region, we are very reliable and rarely have to cancel an event entirely. We always find a creative solution!

How do I pay for the workshop, and is there a deposit?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any payment upright when you book. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods, but we recommend chatting with our team during the booking process to see what's easiest for your specific group. It’s all part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Can we book a session for a large group of friends or colleagues?

Of course! Our street art festival experiences are perfect for groups. Whether you are visiting from Kananga or Mbuji-Mayi or you’re a local Tshikapa business, we can scale our setup to accommodate dozens of people at once. For larger groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and enough 'can-time.' Just let us know your numbers when you request a quote!

Local culture

Tshikapa is a city defined by its incredible resilience and the shimmering history of the Kasai River. Known globally for its diamond trade, we believe the real "gems" of the city are its people and their untapped creative potential. Bringing a street art festival to Tshikapa is about more than just paint; it’s about celebrating the local spirit and adding modern urban flair to the city’s bustling atmosphere. You might see influences from the local Kasai traditions blended with contemporary styles found in Kinshasa or Kananga.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tshikapa sits at the confluence of the Tshikapa and Kasai rivers? The flowing energy of the water is a perfect metaphor for the fluid, rhythmic movement required in graffiti art! 🎨
