Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism

The 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon will take place at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at The Museum of Modern Art on Saturday, March 5, 2016. Last year, over 1500 participants at more than 75 events around the world participated in the second annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia.

Let's double those results in 2016! Want to volunteer? Not in New York and want to organize an event? Email us at info@art.plusfeminism.org to learn more and get involved. There are funds available for node events, to defray the expense of refreshments and childcare.

Art+Feminism is a rhizomatic campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, and to encourage female editorship. Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female.^[1] The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly trans- and cisgender women, to address this absence by organizing in-person, communal updating of Wikipedia’s entries on art and feminism. All our materials have Creative Commons licensing, so we encourage you to reference and remix our workflows and training materials to suit the needs of your community.

We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly trans and cisgender women, to address this absence by organizing in-person, communal updating of Wikipedia’s entries on art and feminism. Those interested in organizing a node are encouraged to: join the listserv; contact us via email at info@art.plusfeminism.org; and to review our Organizer Toolkit for further instructions.
