Malick Kebe is a curator of new ideas and inspirations. Malick dreams of putting Abidjan on the map. Through the lens of his iphone and thanks to his minimalist vision, he was able to create his own identity by building a universe that he perfectly masters, mixing modernity and his African origins. Since January 2019, Malick has shared his works, via his Instagram account "From Abidjan", which aroused the interest of the biggest ones, notably Apple in April 2019 with his device #shotoniphone.

In July 2019, Malick won the first Mobile Photography award from PHmuseum photography, in the “Fashion” category.
From April to June 2022, Kebe's photos has been included in the exhibition "RÉ-GÉNÉRATION" at La Grande Vitrine gallery (Arles, France). During the same perios, he's also been invited as the guest for the French international media “France 24” to talk about his career as a photographer.
Between Abidjan and the rest of the world, there is only one step. This is what Malick advocates through his achievements.
