I am wondering what kind of heritage these people are building in heritage labs!!

Even the theme says post colonial India!!

Looks like they have nothing to do with our history, culture, heritage of thousands of years.

Probably, they still want to remain in the colonial India heritage. That can't even say post independence activities.

Shameful. And Wikipedia is supporting it in the name of spreading knowledge!!

*Forwarding the following message on behalf of Arunesh Varade, The Heritage Lab*

Hello everyone,

The Heritage Lab https://www.theheritagelab.in/culture-events/ is organizing two Wiki contests https://www.theheritagelab.in/world-heritage-week-contest-monuments-museums/ in the month of November on the occasion of World Heritage Week and Wiki Asian Month.

First contest is an edit-a-thon where open access content from GLAMs would be uploaded on Wikimedia Commons with relevant data to improve the accessibility of these images.

The second contest is where people can share the stories of visiting museums. It can be a photo essay, illustration, etc. The submissions in this contest will be uploaded on Commons and the best entries from them will be rewarded.

We have exciting prizes for the winners so we look forward to your active participation in both these events.

Further, we have also opened applications for the second edition of Open Knowledge Fellowship https://www.theheritagelab.in/open-knowledge-museums-india/ where we host a cohort of fellows to research and create new knowledge about Indian art and cultural heritage and contribute the same to Wikimedia projects.

Please pass on the word to the people who would be interested in being a part of this.

Thanks and Regards, Arunesh Varade on behalf of The Heritage Lab _______________________________________________ WikimediaIndia-l mailing list -- wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wikimediaindia-l-leave@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikimediaindia-l.lists.wikimedia...
