Step by step

  1. Safety first: We start by getting everyone geared up with masks, gloves, and protective suits so you can paint with peace of mind.
  2. The basics: Your lead artist will demonstrate how to control the spray can, explaining pressure, distance, and nozzle types.
  3. Can control practice: You'll start by spraying lines, dots, and simple shapes on your canvas to get a feel for the medium.
  4. Sketching your design: Use chalk or light paint to outline your big idea. Don't worry, our pros are there to help you refine your sketch!
  5. Filling in the colour: This is the fun part! Start layering your chosen colours to bring your design to life.
  6. Defining the outlines: Use sharp, contrasting colours to make your piece "pop" and give it that professional street art look.
  7. Adding details and flares: Learn how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects like drips or bubbles.
  8. The finishing touch: Sign your tag and take a group photo with your masterpiece!
  9. Evaluation and wrap-up: We review the techniques learned and celebrate the incredible public art you've created.

Local culture

Street art in Kisangani

Kisangani is a city of incredible resilience and rhythm, and its street art scene is beginning to reflect that unique energy. Known for its proximity to the Wagenia Falls and its historic role as a major trading hub, the city provides a stunning, lush backdrop for modern public art. We celebrate the local culture by incorporating Congolese patterns and vibrant "Boyoma" colours into our sessions. Our workshops often take inspiration from the flowing movement of the river and the bustling energy of the local markets.

Fun Fact: Did you know Kisangani is often called "Boyoma" by locals? This name comes from the seven cataracts of the Stanley Falls (now Boyoma Falls) that surround the city!

By bringing graffiti workshops to Kisangani, we aim to contribute to the city's growing creative landscape, joining other major Congolese hubs like Kinshasa and Lubumbashi in celebrating street culture.

Pricing

We offer competitive pricing to ensure everyone in Kisangani can access the joy of street art. Our rates are transparent and inclusive of all professional gear.

Price range per person: FC50,000 - FC120,000 (FC)

Please note that total costs depend on your group size, the length of the session, and the specific materials required for your project. We offer special rates for schools and community groups!
