Join us at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at The Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54th Street, on Saturday, March 11, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for an all-day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. There will be childcare, snacks, multiple trainings and panel discussions. People of all gender identities and expressions welcomed and encouraged to attend.

This year’s edit-a-thon kicks off at 10:00 a.m. with a conversation about information activism with writer Joanne McNeil and Data & Society Research Institute Fellow Zara Rahman, moderated by Kimberly Drew, the social media manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, creator of the Tumblr “Black Contemporary Art,” and the person behind @museummammy on Instagram. Afternoon breakout groups will engage in focused discussions about related issues, including intersectionality and librarianship, power structures in notability guidelines on Wikipedia, and radical archives.

ORGANIZE AN EDIT-A-THON

Folks gather under the banner of Art+Feminism to edit Wikipedia articles year-round, not just in March. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly transgender and cisgender women, to gather for an all-day, communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. These events generally include tutorials for new editors, resource materials, snacks, and childcare. We’ve created an organizer’s kit with everything you need to hold an Art+Feminism event and we are here with support. Email us to learn more and get involved.

MEET OUR NEW PROGRAM COORDINATOR

I’m McKensie, the new Program Coordinator at Art + Feminism and resident Southern belle and intergalactic, black girl. I was born in Chicago and welcomed into the world by a family of butter aficionados. I’m a writer, performer, consultant and strategist with a penchant for Baldwin and high-class meme curation. When I’m not producing content about politics, pop culture, and race, I’m developing anti-oppressive strategies for dismantling systems of disempowerment in cultural institutions. I enjoy twirling in my living room, hosting shows about fun, and dabbing to 90s R & B. I’m also a sucker for homemade pie that’s just like my Nana used to make... visit our Tumblr to continue reading.
