I have zero artistic talent. Can I still join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Kisangani have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, including safety and nozzle control, before moving on to 'filling' and 'outlining' techniques. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where your creativity can flow freely, regardless of your previous art experience. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

What should I wear for the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol mist is sneaky and can sometimes find its way onto your gear. It’s best to be safe and dress down so you can focus entirely on your artwork without worrying about your favourite outfit. Think of any stray paint as a colourful souvenir!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and that everyone has a fun, injury-free experience in the heart of Kisangani.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Kisangani generally last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, we can often adjust the pace to suit your needs, but we find most people get so into the 'flow' that the time flies by!

Can I book this as a private group activity?

Yes, we love hosting private groups! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a 1-on-1 masterclass or a larger tour group exploring the Tshopo Province, we can accommodate you. Group bookings often benefit from a more social atmosphere and competitive pricing. Just let us know your group size when you inquire, and we will tailor the workshop to your specific needs.

What exactly will we be painting on?

We typically paint on large canvases or specially prepared mobile walls. The best part? You can often take your canvas creation home with you as a unique souvenir of your time in Kisangani! For larger groups, we sometimes work on a collaborative mural where everyone contributes to one giant piece of street art, which makes for some incredible holiday photos.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is easy and hassle-free. Fill out our online contact form with your preferred date and group size. We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is finished and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that your creative session goes ahead exactly as planned, no matter what happens!
