Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists in Kinshasa?
Your safety is our top priority! We provide professional-grade protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal spray walls. Our artists guide you on the proper way to handle cans, ensuring a fun and secure environment for everyone involved.
Do I need any prior art experience to participate?
Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our expert artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle and manage pressure. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself, regardless of your artistic background.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the Kinshasa street art scene, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of your piece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary.
What should I wear to the workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Since Kinshasa can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are best. Don't forget your camera to capture the process!
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything you need! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, sketch paper, masks, gloves, and the canvas or wall space itself. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a bottle of water to stay hydrated while you work.
Where exactly in Kinshasa do the workshops take place?
We usually host our tourist workshops at vibrant, legal street art spots or private creative spaces in central Kinshasa. These locations are chosen for their safety, accessibility, and inspiring atmosphere. Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you the exact location details and easy directions for your driver or taxi.
Can I book this for a large group of travellers?
Yes, we love hosting groups! Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a large tour group, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention. It’s a fantastic way to bond with fellow travellers while doing something truly unique in the city.
