Do I need any prior artistic experience to participate?

Not at all! Our public art experience in Lubumbashi is designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, nozzle types, and layering techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've helped create. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself, regardless of your previous art experience.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and all sessions take place in well-ventilated outdoor environments. Our instructors are also trained to ensure everyone handles the equipment safely while having a blast making street art.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, spray paint is adventurous and can sometimes find a way onto your trainers! It's best to dress for the Lubumbashi weather—think breathable fabrics and maybe a hat for the sun since we'll be outdoors.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard public art workshop in Lubumbashi typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice different spraying techniques on practice boards, and then collaborate on a large-scale mural. We can also customise the duration to fit your specific event schedule if you're planning something unique.

Can you host workshops in other Congolese cities?

Absolutely! While we focus on Lubumbashi, we also provide vibrant graffiti experiences in Kinshasa, Mbuji-Mayi, and Kananga. If you have a project in Kisangani or elsewhere in DR Congo, just let us know. Our team is mobile and loves bringing the joy of street art to new communities across the country. Check our other location pages for more details.

What is the minimum age for participants?

The minimum age is generally 6 years old, as they need to be able to handle the spray cans properly. For younger participants, we often suggest our specialized Kids' Parties package which focuses on simpler techniques. For our public art projects, we welcome teenagers and adults alike, making it a fantastic multi-generational activity for families or community groups.

Local culture

Lubumbashi is a city of incredible industrial heritage and a burgeoning creative scene. Known for its mining history, 'Lushois' culture is now finding a new voice through urban art. We tap into this local energy, often drawing inspiration from the vibrant colours of Congolese textiles and the bustling atmosphere of the city's markets. Our workshops celebrate the spirit of community that Lubumbashi is famous for.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Lubumbashi was traditionally known for its jazz and rhumba scenes? We love to bring that same rhythmic energy to our public art projects, often playing local beats while we paint! 🎶
