<h2>AFU. This is not a hackerspace.</h2>
<p>
Welcome to some savage archaeology in outta space! Occupy Archaeology! Occupy hackerspaces!
</p>
<p>
We are in dire need of more cave paintings in hackerspaces. More boards of mothers leading us with ferocity and care. More PC towers of Babylon. More hieroglyphic encryption and more hybrid creatures. The artefact is the agent creating subaltern hackerspaces with HERitage und HERstory.
</p>
<p>
All made by hand, thousands of years ago, remixed, stitched by hand through software yesterday, conceived in a 3D printer today and reimagined tomorrow… The printer itself is the fetish object of open source and making communities. Forget ‘do-it-yourself’. It has always been the time for ‘do-it-together’. We, women of color, the invisible spirits and workforce, imagined and built computers and systems… We did the tinkering, always. And we don’t exist in dualisms of maker/made.
</p>
<p>
Forget the god-lists that scientists made up of the ancient materials. No need for hierarchies of gods or domination of one god over another. Few spirits kept their identity throughout millennia. In outta space we prefer spirits to gods. Spirits that are fluid and that emulate from one to another. Spirits, Diĝir, Nin, that care for their spaces and people… The geek is resolved in punk archaeology by the crafting and coding of spirits, masquerades, witches, goddesses and daimons...
</p>
<p>
We spirits defy linear temporality, mixing material and human life of different times... We are nodes of the causal network that gives events and codes coherence and meaning. One can recognise our ways when people (now and then) self-organise, envision, resist and revolt…

<h2>Nature/Nefertiti</h2>
<p>
In another time and space Nefertiti comes back to us replanted as a spirit on our ship. A vigorous leader at the Nile by nature rejecting domination. Her eco feminism started with the sun, Aton, as source of energy and leaves her in a body of plants along the Nile waters to be found. Worshipping non-invasive technologies as well as all lifeforms and plants of the planetary realm. She is the brown divine eco-cyberfeminist. She changed and went on to be the 3D printed casted icon and is the spirit in the domain of tinkering. Tinkering that is happening in a political context in a more equal society. Not the tinkering that is reserved to the privileged classes.

<h2>Horus/Her</h2>
<p>
Horus is a multilayered sky spirit and shapeshifter reflecting our many existing realities. Her is diasporic roaming the planets without borders nowhere in exile but belonging everywhere. A secret feathered daughter of Isis she will provide safety for the marginalised and disenfranchised. She is the protective spirit of our hackerspaces that are not just open, but also safe and that add a layer of care, love and compassion to the space. Her domain is the dream, our dreams in which we are also flying. A bird of prey she will fight her enemies with no mercy.

<h2>Foundation Peg/Nin</h2>
<p>
The many pegs are placed within the chaotic structure of the spaceship. They are part of the infrastructure and mark the inner world of the mothership. The ritualistic pegs with their hieroglyphic encryption are not meant to be seen by the public once the spaceship is on its way. She is the material commemoration and dedication to our female spirits that is a marker of the gender fluidity and syncretism over time.

<h2>Lamma</h2>
<p>
She, the powerful who protects you. A hybrid microcosm herself, her powers go beyond this cosmos and our understanding of bodies. She switched gender many times. One of the most popular spirits, the most numerous on seals. Protectress, intercessor, and guardian. The protector of our divine places, for mothers and non-mothers for spouses and non-spouses. She will talk in your name to other spirits no matter their ranks and she can mediate between you, the divine, other species and the machine.

<h2>Queen of the Hacker Night</h2>
<p>
Sister Ishtar. Around her it was dark and noisy in the server room and her body red and glowing in that windowless nights of computation. She is gracefully watching over our multiplying feminist servers. Caressing our creatures. A creature herself. Caressing also the machines that she built with her body and mind. She has many superpowers one of which is to rule the underworld and to break meritocratic assertiveness. She laughs at the hackers stupidity who believe in skills and meritocracy, a term coined by a poor fella who meant it satirical. She rewards practices in free software production that are outside of coding such as building a compassionate community.
