Art + Feminism is a global initiative made up of “students,
librarians, professors, artists, art workers, and art lovers” who
meaningfully enhance “the body of knowledge available about feminism
and the arts on Wikipedia” (
http://www.artandfeminism.org/). MIT
libraries and community are a part of this project, and this year we
are hosting an Art + Feminism Event on Saturday March 11, 2017, from
11am-4pm.
Our theme focuses on the art of comics, graphic novels, and zines, but
participants are welcome to work on any topic related to Art +
Feminism. No experience editing Wikipedia is required -- we will offer
Wikipedia training, and experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand for
one-on-one help. The event will also feature hands-on creative
activities, including zine making and basic cartooning. Everyone is
welcome, and food will also be provided.
