2021 Asia Art Archive in America Art + Feminism Edit-a-thon

Want to help improve representation of women and non-binary artists and practitioners on Wikipedia? Join our fourth annual (and first virtual) Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, March 13 from 12-5pm EST!

Organized by Asia Art Archive in America and NaPupila in collaboration with Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, this event brings together participants to discuss, create, share, and improve Wikipedia articles about women and non-binary artists.

The day will kick-off at noon on Zoom with a talk by art historian and curator Michaela Blanc of NaPupila, a Brazilian curatorial collective that thinks critically about gender roles and power structures through the visual arts. In this presentation, Blanc will discuss NaPupila's guiding principles and show how the collective uses the internet as a vehicle to create feminist communities. Following this discussion, members of the AAA-A team will lead a Wikipedia editing tutorial for new editors.

This edit-a-thon is aligned with Art+Feminism — “a campaign improving coverage of cis and transgender women, non-binary folks, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia” — and is part of Asia Art Archive’s ongoing effort to contribute to discussions about the representation of art and visual culture in Asia on open-source knowledge platforms. No prior Wikipedia editing experience is required to participate!
