Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Presented by Art + Feminism and led by librarian and Art+Feminism Co-founder Siân Evans. Contribute to fair representations of women and people of color in the arts by adding and editing content on the world’s largest online encyclopedia of knowledge. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. This lack of female participation has led to an alarming dearth of content about women and art in the world’s most popular online research tool. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate. No prior experience with Wikipedia is necessary. A one-hour training session will be followed by two hours devoted to editing Wikipedia content. A limited number of laptops will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Participants may also elect to bring their own laptop. This event is free but tickets are required to reserve your seat: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/art-feminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets-...
