Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for all youth projects in Kananga. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and all sessions take place in well-ventilated or outdoor areas to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical youth workshop last?

Our youth project workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tags' on practice walls, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a full-day community event planned, we can certainly adjust the timing to fit your needs!

Do we need to provide our own paint or supplies?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint, caps, protective clothing, and the surfaces we'll be painting on (whether that's a temporary wall or individual canvases). You just need to make sure everyone wears old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' paint on!

Do the participants need to have prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy, bite-sized steps. Most participants are amazed at what they can create by the end of the session, even if they've never picked up a spray can before in their lives.

What is the maximum group size for a youth project?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of 10 or large-scale community youth projects for 50+ people. For very large groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure every participant gets the guidance and attention they deserve. Just let us know your numbers when you enquire.

Where in Kananga do the workshops take place?

In Kananga, we have several outdoor locations, but we can also bring the workshop to you! If you have a school yard, a community centre garden, or a sports field, we can set up our mobile canvases there. We always have a backup plan for weather, ensuring the creative flow never has to stop.

What are the educational benefits of these projects?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building, boosting self-esteem, and encouraging creative problem-solving. Beyond the art, the youth learn about planning, collaboration, and the importance of self-expression in a positive, legal way. It’s a powerful bonding experience that leaves the group with a genuine sense of shared achievement.
