Women in Design aims to create and improve articles about all marginalized genders involved in the design world. To start with we want to identify women associated with NID and their contribution to design fields, whether it is contributing to the establishment of the institute or partaking in/heading design projects. Our initial focus would be on the decades of 1950 to 1990. We would be looking through the archives to create new articles and populate existing ones.

The edit-a-thon will run from 5th August 2022 (Postponed to 8th Aug 2022) to 12th August 2022 

All our participants will receive surprise goodies and snacks/meals/drinks !

Starting with English Wikipedia, we would also be contributing to Wikimedia Commons, Wiki Hindi, Gujarati, and open to other language wikis.

It is a hybrid event that will take place online as well as at SLA classroom 2, National Institute of Design, Opp Tagore Hall, Paldi, Ahmedabad, India 380007

The NID building is accessible for wheelchairs and most mobility aids, with a provision of a lift and inclined surfaces (ramps) to access the venue.
