Woman yelling with information on the event

Please join the CU Boulder University Libraries, CU Art Museum, and the Boulder Feminist Initiative for a fun, inclusive one-day event that brings together diverse communities to create and improve Wikipedia articles related to women in the arts. Despite its wide reach, Wikipedia suffers from a gender gap, and its content is skewed by the lack of women’s voices. This represents an alarming absence in an important repository of shared knowledge, especially as our society is increasingly beset by rampant misinformation. Join us in changing this! We’re gathering women and allies together to celebrate women's cultural achievements and edit Wikipedia articles about women in the arts.

  • What: Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon 2017
  • Date: Thursday, March 8th, 2018
  • Time: 2:30 pm – 7:30 pm
  • Location: University of Colorado Boulder, CU Art Museum, Boulder, CO 80309

All are welcome, no Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers. Women editors, especially women of color and diverse gender expression, are encouraged to attend. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you can get a head start with this training module.

Please bring a laptop if possible. There will be a limited number of computers available.
