Are you familiar with our Art + Feminism campaign? Since 2014 we've
gathered in more than 280 events around the world to teach women how to
contribute content on art and feminism on Wikipedia. You can find more
information about the initiative here http://www.artandfeminism.org/. If
you'd like to discuss further, please let us know as we'd be happy to tell
you more about it.
