MoMA to Host Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon to Tackle Gender Imbalance | Observer


February 19, 2015

Art Feminism aims to balance the scales a little more. According to a 2011 Wikipedia Editors Study, just 8.5 percent of Wikipedia editors are women. On Saturday, March 7 the group will host its second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon at the Museum of Modern Art, where participants will create and edit articles about female artists, feminist art scholarship, and feminist art movements. The event aspires to improve female representation among editors so articles about female artists get more exposure.
