    Frequently asked questions

    Will we get paint on our clothes during the university workshop?

    Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to ensure your clothes stay clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes just in case a stray bit of paint finds its way onto you. Our Kinshasa artists will guide you on how to handle the cans safely to minimize any mess while you create your masterpiece.

    Is the graffiti workshop safe for a large group of students?

    Yes, safety is our top priority. We use professional-grade spray cans and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes. Our workshops in Kinshasa are typically held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large open-air university grounds. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a great time exploring their creative side.

    Do students need any prior art experience to participate?

    Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with a creative thumb. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, how to control pressure, and how to draw simple lines. By the time you move on to the main mural, you'll feel confident and ready to express yourself. It’s all about the experience and having fun together.

    What happens if the workshop needs to be cancelled?

    We are incredibly flexible. If a lead artist is unwell, we have a reliable backup system in Kinshasa to ensure your event goes ahead as planned. Because you pay after the workshop, there is zero financial risk for the university or student union. We focus on building trust through reliability and high-quality artistic experiences, ensuring your campus event is a guaranteed success.

    How long does a typical university session in Kinshasa last?

    The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can adapt the duration to fit into a busy university schedule, whether it’s a quick session between lectures or a full afternoon of creative immersion during an orientation week.

    Do we need to pay in advance for the booking?

    We believe in the quality of our service, which is why we don't require upfront payments. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and you’re satisfied with the results. This makes the booking process much easier for university administration and student organisations in Kinshasa, as it removes the stress of advance budgeting and ensures you get exactly what you paid for.

    Can we choose a specific theme for our campus mural?

    Of course! We can tailor the workshop to focus on specific university themes, faculty identities, or symbols of Kinshasa culture. Many student groups choose to incorporate their university logo or a message of unity. Just let us know your ideas beforehand, and our artists will help design a concept that perfectly matches the spirit and goals of your student event.
