THE STORY, IN BRIEF
APS reports on the Senegalese craft and design behind Dakar 2026’s award ceremonies. Abidine Diop designed modular podiums using wood, traditional joinery and a baobab-inspired graphic motif. Fashion house Algueye created volunteers’ uniforms incorporating woven fabric, while adapted layu baskets carry the medals. The account attributes the design details to the organising committee and places local materials and making techniques at the centre of the ceremonies’ visual presentation.
