Ousmane Faye

Senegal (FR)

My name is Ousmane Faye and I am a polyvalent artist: I am a dancer, an actor and a fire eater. I also work for the Red Cross and organize activities for children. I currently have a lot of projects going on. For example, I made a costume out of plastic bags to sensitize people regarding their consumption habits and also published videos showing how to clean beaches. In cooperation with various craftsmen, I have also produced bags made out of rubbish or figurines made with spoons.

„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.“
