Frequently asked questions

Is the paint safe for participants with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our indoor sessions in Lubumbashi, and we provide all necessary protective gear including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the workshop closely, ensuring that every participant can focus entirely on their creative expression in a secure and supportive environment. Safety is our number one priority during every session.

Are the workshop locations in Lubumbashi wheelchair accessible?

We pride ourselves on being fully flexible. Whether the workshop is at a local community centre, a school, or an outdoor space near the city centre, we ensure the area is wheelchair accessible and has easy transport links. If you have a specific venue in mind in Lubumbashi, we can travel to you and perform a site check to ensure it meets all the necessary accessibility requirements for your group.

How long does a session last and can we take breaks?

Our workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we know that some groups might need a bit more time or frequent breaks. We tailor the pace of the day to the energy levels and needs of the participants. Our graffiti artists are experts at reading the room and adjusting the schedule so that everyone remains engaged without feeling overwhelmed or rushed through the process.

Do participants need to have any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to those who have an artistic flair. In Lubumbashi, our instructors guide participants through simple techniques like 'tagging' and 'filling' before moving on to larger designs. We focus on the joy of movement and colour rather than technical perfection, making it an inclusive experience for all ability levels and ages.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes a wide range of spray can colours, caps, protective clothing, and the 'canvases'—which could be anything from large boards to film-wrapped walls. We also bring inspiration sketches and templates to help spark ideas. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'creative dust' on, just in case!

How do we book and when do we have to pay?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator or taking our Workshop Quiz to see what suits you best. Once you're ready, contact us for a custom quote. One of the best parts about Graffitifun is that we don't require any upfront payment; you only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% happy with the experience.

Do you offer workshops for other groups or in other cities?

Yes, we do! While we specialise in special needs programmes, we also host workshops for schools, kids' parties, and corporate events across the DR Congo. If you're looking for something in Kinshasa or Kisangani, we can certainly help. Our team is mobile and loves bringing the vibrant energy of street art to different communities and events throughout the country.
