Art+Feminism CT will take place the first week of March, culminating in an all-day virtual edit-a-thon on Friday, March 5th from 11:00-4:00 pm EST.
We are joined by our partners Connecticut Digital Archive (CTDA), Connecticut Digital Humanities (CTDH) and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in creating a virtual space where participants will learn how to edit Wikipedia and contribute to women and non-binary artist pages.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! We hope to welcome volunteers who are new to editing Wikipedia and those with experience.
