About

DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM presents the first solo exhibition with SOUFIANE ABABRI tittled Something New Under the Little Prince's Body. Installed over various tones of flesh-painted walls, the exhibition features a new body of figurative colored pencil drawings prompting a discourse on sexuality and interracial love among postcolonial-era gays. Ababri, who often stages interventions or workshops, activates the exhibition on opening night with an accompanying performance in the gallery, initiating the relationship and narrative between the Prince and his new lover and featuring body-to-body movements, song, and texts.
