Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon
Saturday September 23rd from 12-5pm
In conjunction with the alumni based exhibits, we will be hosting a collaborative one-day Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon event inside the Artlab Gallery. Organized in collaboration with Forest City Gallery this Wiki event welcomes visual arts alumna Siân Evans (MA, Art History, 2007) who will speak about her involvement in founding and organizing the internationally lauded “Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thons.”
We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly transgender, and cisgender women, to address this absence by inserting Wikipedia entries on art and feminism.
