THE STORY, IN BRIEF
In an interview with APS, Senegalese designer El Hadji Malick Badji, known as Milcos, explains his design for the reverse of Dakar 2026’s Youth Olympic medal. He describes the baobab as a starting point for exploring memory, transmission and community through contemporary forms. Rather than reproducing the tree literally, his approach seeks a visual identity that connects inherited traditions with future possibilities. The interview focuses on the creative process behind the medal.
