Do the kids need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Kolwezi are designed specifically for beginners. Most participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic safety and 'can control' to advanced layering techniques. We focus on building confidence and ensuring everyone walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It's all about the experience and having a blast! ✨

Is the workshop safe for teenagers and children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces. Additionally, our artists are experienced in managing youth groups, ensuring a respectful, supervised, and secure environment throughout the entire creative process here in Kolwezi. 🛡️

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A typical youth project workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the duration to fit into a specific school schedule or community event timeline. We make sure every minute is packed with action and creativity! ⏱️

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes a wide range of vibrant spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a temporary wall, plastic film, or individual boards). You just need to bring your energy and wear some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on. We handle the logistical heavy lifting. 🎨

Is there an educational aspect to the graffiti workshop?

While the primary focus is on the spray-painting experience, we always include a segment on the history and culture of street art. We discuss the transition from 'tagging' to professional muralism and the importance of legal street art spaces. This helps the youth in Kolwezi understand the medium as a tool for positive expression and community enrichment rather than vandalism. 📚

Can you host the workshop at our specific location in Kolwezi?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your youth centre, school, or a local community park in Kolwezi. If you don't have a venue, we can help find a suitable location. We use mobile graffiti walls or 'cellograff' (industrial cling film stretched between poles) which allows us to set up a creative studio almost anywhere without leaving a permanent mark. 📍

Do you offer workshops for very large groups?

Yes, we do! If you are planning a larger youth initiative or a multi-day project across DR Congo, we can certainly accommodate you. Besides Kolwezi, we are active in cities like Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. For larger groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure every participant gets individual attention and the quality of the workshop remains top-notch. Just let us know your group size! 🤝

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next youth initiative in Kolwezi? It’s more than just painting; it's about empowerment and teamwork. Here is why our workshops are a hit:

Boosts creative confidence: We show young people that they can create something massive and beautiful from scratch. 🚀
Legal and safe: We provide a structured environment to learn street art properly, discouraging illegal vandalism.
Team building: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication, planning, and cooperation. 🤝
Professional mentorship: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are mentors who inspire passion and discipline. 🔥
Instant results: Unlike other art forms, graffiti offers immediate visual impact, which is incredibly rewarding for teenagers.
Zero cancellation stress: We always have backup artists ready to go, so your project in Kolwezi never hits a snag. 🏆

Step by step

The introduction: We start with a high-energy meet-and-greet where our artists explain the history of street art and the plan for the day.
Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out in protective suits, gloves, and masks. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
The 'can control' lesson: Before hitting the big wall, we teach the basics—how to hold the can, how to change nozzles, and how to control spray pressure.
Sketching the vision: Youth participants collaborate on a theme, sketching their ideas on paper or directly onto the surface with light paint.
Outlining and filling: This is where the magic happens! The group starts filling in their designs with vibrant colours under expert guidance.
Adding the details: We teach how to add highlights, shadows, and 3D effects to make the artwork really "pop" off the wall.
The final tag: Every artist gets to sign their work or add a personal 'tag' to the collective mural, claiming their creative contribution.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the finished masterpiece with a professional group photo before tidying up the workspace.

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions run for 2 to 3 hours, but we can offer full-day intensive "mural marathons" for larger youth projects. ⏱️
Group Sizes: We cater to groups from 10 participants up to 100+ (with multiple artists to manage the crowd).
What’s Included: Professional spray cans (all colours), caps, masks, gloves, protective overalls, and mobile walls/canvases. 🎨
Weather: If it's raining, we can move the workshop indoors using our low-odour paint or set up professional gazebos. 🌦️
Safety: Our artists are first-aid aware and focus on a "safety-first" culture with all spray equipment.

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city known for its incredible energy and industrial heartbeat. As the capital of the Lualaba Province, it’s a place where tradition meets rapid growth—a perfect backdrop for the raw, evolving spirit of street art. We love bringing our workshops to this part of DR Congo because the local youth have a unique perspective and a hunger for modern creative outlets. From the bustling atmosphere near the Manika market to the quieter residential zones, the "urbex" feel of the city provides endless inspiration for our mural designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kolwezi is often referred to as the 'Capital of Cobalt'? We often encourage our youth groups to incorporate these local colours—deep blues and metallic greys—into their graffiti pieces to celebrate the city's identity! 🇨🇩

Pricing

We believe high-quality art should be accessible to everyone. Our pricing for youth projects in Kolwezi is designed to be flexible for schools, NGOs, and community groups.

Estimated Price Range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person.

Please note that the final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the project, and the amount of paint required for your specific design. We don't require upfront payments—you only pay after the fun is done!
