The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Medellin university event? It’s more than just painting—it’s about building a community. Here’s why it works:

  • Break the ice: Perfect for new students to bond quickly through a shared, slightly 'rebellious' activity. 🤝
  • Stress relief: Spray painting is incredibly cathartic—the perfect antidote to exam season pressure. ✨
  • Inclusivity: Street art is for everyone. You don't need to be an 'artist' to contribute to a stunning mural. 🌈
  • Cultural connection: Connect students with the local Medellin urban culture and the history of Colombian street art. 🇨🇴
  • Instagrammable moments: Your students will be sharing photos of their creations for weeks, giving your university great social buzz. 📸
  • Professional guidance: Learn from real Medellin graffiti artists who live and breathe this culture every day. 🏆

Step by step

  1. Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of Medellin’s street art transformation and a safety briefing.
  2. The tag creator: Students brainstorm their 'writer names' and sketch out initial concepts on paper.
  3. Can control 101: Our pros demonstrate how to create thin lines, fat caps, and smooth gradients.
  4. First sprays: Everyone gets a practice board to get a feel for the pressure and distance of the spray cans.
  5. Collaborative sketching: We move to the main mural, outlining the collective design with light strokes.
  6. Filling & fading: The team works together to add vibrant colours, blends, and 'fills' to the artwork.
  7. The outline & highlights: We add the 'power line' and highlights to make the graffiti pop off the wall.
  8. Final touches: Students add their individual 'tags' and signatures to the finished piece.
  9. Group photo: We celebrate the creation with a professional group photo in front of your new masterpiece.

Local culture

Street art in Medellin

Medellin isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing canvas. Known as the 'City of Eternal Spring', it’s also the unofficial street art capital of Colombia. The way urban art helped transform neighbourhoods like Comuna 13 is a powerful lesson in social change that resonates deeply with students. When you book a workshop with us, you're tapping into the same spirit of resilience and creativity that defines the 'Paisa' culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Medellin hosts several international urban art festivals every year? The city’s legal walls mean that street art is respected as a legitimate and prestigious art form, making it the perfect environment for students to learn the craft without the 'outlaw' stigma. 🚀
