Khalifa Babacar Niang

Senegal (FR)

My name is Khalifa Babacar Niang and I am a trained metalworker. I am a creative artist who works a lot with wrought iron creations. I live in Yeumbeul Nord, where my workshop is also located. Working with iron has been my passion since I was little. I mainly design gates and doors. I also work with the calabash. My goal is to soon own my own workshops, which will allow me to express my artistic talent.

„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.“
