Younous Badji

Senegal (FR)

My name is Younous Badji aka Xamxamlephilodoff : I am an artist, dancer choreographer, director, painter (visual artist), decorator & designer, cultural assistant and entrepreneur. My project revolves around the environment and how rubbish can be transformed into gold. What is thrown away does not have to be lost, but can be recycled and transformed.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
