Elhadji Amadou Gueye

Senegal (FR)

Hello, My name is Elhadji, but I also like to be called Ass. I am a certified artist and I mainly work with the Callebasse. The callebasse is one of the greatest materials for me, as it is a natural product that Mother Nature gave us to use, work with and live with. Whether as a water container, musical instrument or decorative item, it is so versatile and special. That is why it is very close to my heart to spread the Callebasse all over the world and to show people how diverse and changeable it is. I am very happy about the collaboration within DesginUp!

„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.“
