Do I need to be artistic or have drawing skills to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We start with basic spray can control and work our way up to more complex shapes. Most of our guests in Likasi have never held a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. Just bring your enthusiasm!

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor setting. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone has a blast while staying completely safe and protected from fumes.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop in Likasi?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private session or part of a large tour group of 50 people, we can accommodate you. In Likasi, we often work with families, couples, and small groups of friends. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our expert artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal attention and guidance.

How long does the graffiti experience typically last?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice on our training walls, and finally, the creation of your masterpiece. If you are on a tight schedule while touring Haut-Katanga, let us know – we can often tailor the timing to suit your itinerary.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

We love the sun, but if it rains, we have backup plans! We either move to a covered outdoor location or, if the weather is really heavy, we can reschedule your session to a better time during your stay. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we rarely have to cancel. We will always communicate with you to ensure your Likasi street art experience happens!

What should I wear and bring to the workshop?

While we provide overalls, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Other than that, just bring yourself! We provide the spray cans, the caps, the masks, and the surface you'll be painting on. Everything is included in the price.

How do I pay, and do I need to pay upfront?

We believe in a stress-free experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Likasi workshop. You can pay on the day of the event after you've had your fun. We accept various payment methods, but if you have a specific preference, just ask when you request your quote. This way, you can book with total confidence!

Local culture

Likasi, often called the 'Radiant City' (Ville de Lumière), has a unique industrial energy that blends perfectly with the raw, expressive nature of street art. While the city is famous for its mining heritage, there is a growing undercover creative scene that we are proud to be part of. Painting in Likasi feels different; you are surrounded by the red earth of the Katanga region and the bustling spirit of a city on the move. ❤️

Fun Fact: Did you know Likasi was once the site of an important botanical garden? We often draw inspiration from the local Congolese flora when teaching tourists how to mix vibrant colours in their graffiti pieces! 🌿

While you're here, don't miss out on exploring other Congolese creative hubs like Kinshasa or Lubumbashi to see how the street art styles vary across this massive, beautiful country.

Pricing

Our Likasi workshops are priced to be accessible while ensuring top-notch materials and artist expertise. Prices generally range from FC50,000 to FC120,000 per person.

The final price depends on how many people are in your group and the specific setup we arrange for you. We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Plus, you don't have to pay a penny until the day of the workshop!
