My name is Alassane Diop and I upcycle scrap and rubbish. My workshop ''Soweto-Village'' is located in ''Niayes Thiocker'' in downtown Dakar. The raw material is collected by homeless people on the streets of Dakar. Out of it, I create a range of objects such as watering cans, bird cages, jewelry boxes, suitcases, picture frames, etc. I am also very committed in my local community and promote the social and professional insertion of young people from my neighbourhood. I export my works all over the world, mainly to France, Holland, Spain, Australia and the USA.
