Offering to Non-Celebrity Elements (2022)

Offering to non-celebrity elements is an intervention that took place in the Visitor’s Mine Zinnwald Saxonia AG. It was performed during the tour Taube Erde, part of the project The Driving Factor at nGbK.

“Vis-à-vis Western science’s presumption to predict the properties of something not yet discovered, in her performance Offering to Non-Celebrity Elements Maryam Katan takes the periodic table as a starting point to interrogate unchallenged beliefs in science and technology, advocating for collective, playful new sets of knowledge.”
