Otobong Nkanga, Preliminary Recipe for a Support System, digitale tekening, collage en acrylverf op papier, 2016–2017
Otobong Nkanga werkt samen met zeepmaker Evi Lachana om verder na te denken over zeep, een alomtegenwoordig product dat essentieel is voor onze gezondheid en centraal staat in Nkanga’s werk Carved to Flow, 2017. Als onderdeel van documenta 14 heeft de kunstenaar in Athene een performatief laboratorium opgezet voor het maken van zeep, om het vervolgens te verkopen in Kassel.
In de performance Germination roept Nkanga de eerdere fases van Carved to Flow op en reflecteert ze op de verbonden geografieën, tradities, geschiedenissen en volken die betrokken zijn bij de productie van zeep. Hiermee wordt een model geboden van sociale, economische en conceptuele circulatie.

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
