The assistant
From SystersWiki
I was active at a hackerspace. I never managed to participate. I felt always the assistant... In a project, I had to document their work but without being explained what it was about. Can you help me?? Why? It was not a collaborative process.
They were never engaging me. They wanted to collaborate with artists... but they are not artists, so they wanted me to be a mediator with the artist...
It is difficult,
the role of the assistant and mediator.
I was perceived as a woman.
Oh wow, you know how to do this!
In a culture of nerds,
I was alone.
