Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Kolwezi have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive under our guidance. It's all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through bold colours and shapes.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or high-ceiling spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a secure environment for everyone to explore their creativity without any worries or risks.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a full experience: an introduction to the history of street art, a practice session on techniques, and the final creation of your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to get into the 'flow' of painting without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the DRC sun!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s best to leave your favourite designer gear at home and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your artwork.

Are materials included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers professional spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, protective equipment, caps (nozzles) for different effects, and the surface we will be painting on. You don't need to bring a thing except your energy and creativity. We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards, so you can just enjoy the vibes.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel confident in your choice. Payment is only required after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It’s the Graffitifun way of keeping things stress-free.

Where in Kolwezi do the workshops take place?

We can host workshops at various vibrant locations across Kolwezi, or we can come to a location of your choice if it’s suitable for spray painting. Whether it's a community space, a school courtyard, or a private event venue, we bring the art to you. If you're unsure, just ask, and we can help find the perfect spot for your group.

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city on the move, known globally for its rich earth and industrious spirit. But beyond the copper and cobalt, there is a pulse of urban culture waiting to be explored. Our workshops tap into this local energy, using the backdrop of the city's unique industrial landscape as inspiration. We love seeing how the red dust of the Lualaba region inspires the palettes of our participants! 🧱

Fun Fact: Kolwezi is often called the "world's capital of cobalt," but it's quickly becoming a hub for young Congolese creatives who are using street art to tell the story of their modern city.

While looking for art inspiration, don't forget to check out our programs in other cities like Kinshasa and Lubumbashi!
