Graffiti summer camp in Kinshasa
Are you looking for an unforgettable way to keep the youth of Kinshasa inspired this summer? Our graffiti summer camp offers a vibrant alternative to traditional holiday activities. We bring the world of street art directly to the heart of the DR Congo, providing a safe, creative, and incredibly fun environment for teenagers and children to express themselves. Led by professional street artists with years of experience, our workshops teach the fundamentals of spray painting, from initial sketches to large-scale murals. It’s more than just painting; it's about building confidence, learning new skills, and connecting with the urban culture of 'Kin la Belle'. Join us for a summer filled with colour, creativity, and community spirit.

How it works
- Introduction to Street Art: We start with a brief history of graffiti culture and its evolution into a respected global art form.
- Safety Briefing: Every participant gets fitted with their protective gear while we explain the rules of the workshop.
- Basic Techniques: Our artists demonstrate how to handle the spray can, control the 'fat' and 'skinny' caps, and master line work.
- Sketching Your Tag: Before touching the wall, we spend time on paper, helping each youth design their own unique tag or piece.
- Colour Grading & Filling: We move to the practice surface to learn about colour theory, blending, and creating smooth fills.
- Final Piece Creation: The participants work on their final project, applying everything they have learned onto a large canvas or dedicated wall.
- Outlining & Highlights: The pros show how to add 'force lines' and highlights to make the artwork pop and look professional.
- The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo and a celebration of the creative journey each young artist has completed.

Frequently asked questions
Is graffiti art safe for children and teenagers?
Safety is our number one priority during every summer camp session. We provide professional-grade protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our experienced artists guide the youngsters through every step, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated legal graffiti zones in Kinshasa to ensure a healthy and secure environment for all participants.
Do participants need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our camps are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those who have a bit of artistic flair. Our mentors start with the basics, teaching how to hold a can and control pressure before moving on to complex pieces. By the end of the Kinshasa summer program, every participant will have created something they can be truly proud of, regardless of their starting point.
What should my child wear to the graffiti camp?
We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable trainers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and shoes! Since we are in the heart of the DR Congo, lightweight and breathable fabrics are best to keep cool while being creative in the sunshine.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
A standard summer camp session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours per day. However, for our intensive holiday programs, we can offer multi-day workshops that span an entire week. This allows the youth to really dive deep into the culture, practice their sketching, and eventually collaborate on a large-scale mural that tells a story and brightens up the local community.
Are materials like spray cans and masks included?
Absolutely everything is included in the price. We provide premium spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, sketching materials, and all safety equipment. You don't need to bring any supplies – just bring your energy, some water to stay hydrated, and your creative ideas. We handle the setup and the cleanup!
What is the minimum or maximum group size?
We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether it is a small group of friends or a large organised youth club, we can tailor the experience. Typically, we keep a low artist-to-student ratio to ensure everyone gets personal attention. For very large groups in Kinshasa, we bring in backup artists from our professional team to maintain the high quality of instruction.
