Soufiane Ababri

Soufiane Ababri is an artist who lives and works in Paris. Ababri’s practice spans a range of forms, working with performance, sculpture, film and drawing. In his practice, he aims to deconstruct normative gender roles and social dynamics, highlighting the legacy of oppressive colonial structures, specifically relating to issues of racism and homophobia. In his Bedworks series, Ababri creates drawings that serve as intimate portraits of queer life and challenge socially acceptable expressions of homoerotic intimacy.
