Hello – The Africa Narrative submitted a note of introduction several
months ago which the African Wikimedian Digest kindly disseminated. I’d be
grateful if you could once again put out a notice on our behalf, this time
in support of our search for a Wikimedian-in-Residence. Thank you very
much.
Michelle
The Africa Narrative (TAN), a non-profit that develops singular, high
impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural
and creative industries, is seeking a Wikimedian-in-Residence to be part of
an exciting Wikipedia project that TAN is spearheading. The AfroCreatives
Wikiproject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from
the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to
contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative
economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt,
Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.
We are seeking a dynamic individual with a track record of editing
Wikipedia on Africa-related content and with a passion for African arts and
culture. The position is remote and can be based anywhere on the
continent. Applications will be accepted through October 7th. More
information on the role and how to apply can be found here
