Art+Feminism is a campaign that started in response to a survey conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2011. That survey found that less than 10% of contributors on Wikipedia were women. The goal of this event is to amplify the work of cis and trans women, non-binary people, and everyone from under-represented backgrounds by giving them due coverage on Wikipedia. Art+Feminism is an initiative that seeks to improve coverage of feminism, gender, and the arts on Wikipedia.
Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism, including gender non-binary artists and activists. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials from the Menil Library, drinks and snacks, and community support. Bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.
