Art and Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon
Load up your backpacks and bookmark your tabs—it’s time to add to the Internet. For the first-ever Art and Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon, Eyebeam and 16 other satellite locations, is hosting a space for you (and you, and you, and you) to change the facts that 1) 90 percent of Wikipedia editors are male and 2) entries on notable female subjects are lacking. We can cry to the heavens all we want, denouncing this as pure shitiness through and through, but that won’t fix anything; we need a more diverse crew of Wikipedians. Resources on how to be a Wikipedian will be provided in the gallery, and childcare, if you need that, will be given, too. (Just email in advance: artandfeminismwiki@gmail.com.) IMPORTANT NOTE: If you prefer Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Museum’s hosting the same event, too (from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM).
