Is the graffiti workshop safe for young people?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant in Mbuji-Mayi. Our professional artists supervise the entire process, teaching correct spray techniques to ensure everyone has a blast without any risks. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for younger hands to control, making it a safe, supervised, and exhilarating environment for youth groups.

Do we need any prior art skills to join?

Zero experience is required! Most of our participants in Kasai-Oriental have never touched a spray can before. Our expert artists start with the basics, from shaking the can to mastering lines and fades. We believe everyone has an inner artist waiting to break out. By the end of the session, your group will be amazed at the professional-looking mural they have created together. It is all about fun and learning!

Where do the workshops take place in Mbuji-Mayi?

We are incredibly flexible. For youth projects in Mbuji-Mayi, we can bring the workshop to your community centre, school, or local sports field. Alternatively, if you prefer an authentic street art vibe, we have access to dedicated legal graffiti walls where the group can leave a permanent mark on the city. We provide all the plastic sheeting and floor protection needed to keep the site clean.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard youth workshop lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, though we can extend this for larger community festivals or intensive art programmes. This timeframe allows for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale collaborative masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and focus sharp without the participants getting tired. We can also schedule shorter sessions for rotating groups.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the painting surface (whether that’s a wall or individual canvases). We even bring the inspiration! You only need to provide the enthusiastic participants and some drinking water to keep everyone hydrated under the Mbuji-Mayi sun. We handle the setup and the cleanup.

What's the maximum group size for a youth project?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size. For youth projects, we recommend a ratio of one artist per 15-20 participants to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. If you have a massive group of 100+ kids, we simply bring more artists and set up multiple painting stations. No one is left standing around; we make sure every single person gets to spray and contribute to the artwork.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! If we are working outdoors and the weather turns, we often have backup dates available or can move the session to a covered area or indoors using water-based, low-odour spray paints. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very reliable and rarely have to cancel. We will always communicate with you to find the best solution.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your youth group in Mbuji-Mayi? It’s not just about painting walls; it’s about building a sense of belonging and pride. Here is why our workshops are a total game-changer:

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a 10-metre mural they helped create gives young people a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Teamwork in Action: You can't paint a masterpiece alone! Participants learn to communicate and collaborate.
Safe Expression: We provide a legal, structured outlet for urban creativity, teaching respect for public spaces. ✨
Skill Building: From colour theory to can control, these are transferable creative skills that look great on a CV.
100% Fun: Let's be honest—spraying paint is just incredibly satisfying and exciting for all ages! 🎉
Professional Mentorship: Our artists act as role models, showing that a career in the arts is possible. 💪

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro, explaining the history of street art and how it empowers communities.
Gear up: Every participant gets kitted out in protective suits, gloves, and masks. Safety first, style second!
Can control: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, change nozzles, and manage pressure for different strokes.
Sketching the vision: The group brainstorms a theme—maybe something representing Mbuji-Mayi’s heritage—and we sketch the outline together.
First lines: Participants step up to the wall to practice basic shapes and "tags" to get a feel for the paint flow.
Filling in: This is where the colour happens! The team works together to fill the piece with vibrant gradients and patterns.
The outline: Our artists help the youth apply the sharp black outlines that make the graffiti "pop" and look professional.
Final highlights: We add the finishing touches, like shines and shadows, to give the mural a 3D effect.
Group photo: We celebrate the achievement with a massive group photo in front of the new masterpiece!

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city built on resilience and sparkle, known globally for its diamond industry. We believe the youth of this city are the real "rough diamonds" waiting to shine! While the city has a bustling market energy around Bakra-Diku and the Miba areas, the local art scene is ripe for a modern explosion. Our workshops tap into this local pride, encouraging participants to incorporate Congolese patterns and local symbols into their murals.

Fun Fact: Did you know Mbuji-Mayi means "Goat Water" in the local Chiluba language? We love bringing our workshops to this vibrant city where the sun is hot, but the creative energy is even hotter! 💎
