Syster Papyri Magicae
Syster Papyri Magicae is a particular and eclectic collection of stories, testimonies and practices of feminist hackers. It aims to collect scattered old, present and fictional documentation of the memories and techniques used in the context of feminist hacker initiatives. It wants to amplify their urgency and potentials. To document these instances of community efforts and collective practices, it uses the carrier bag of fiction, as Ursula le Guin has suggested, in order to playfully ....
The editor, by participating in existing hacker communities, initiating new ones, and learn about old initiatives from online archives, aims to reflect on their suggestions and amplify their potential.
It amplifies, tries IRL and playfully documents existing practices, and encourages people to collect around them and try their own. How would they respond to similar situations? Would they use similar strategies as the Systers, or would they react differently?
This project is initiated and inspired by existing feminist hacker practices but also aspires to initiate and inspire new ones. It builds on the efforts and practices of feminist practices and pedagogies. It is especially dedicated to excluded individuals and groups that bring their own responses to exclusions that happening in tech environments, digital and physical.
