Please join us for a fun, inclusive one-day event that brings together diverse communities to create and improve Wikipedia articles related to women in the arts. Despite its wide reach, Wikipedia suffers from a severe gender imbalance: since most editors are men, articles conform to men's interests and perspectives. In an effort to change this, we are gathering diverse women and allies together to celebrate women's cultural achievements and discuss openly ongoing challenges caused by structural sexism. (Learn more about the gender gap at WikiProject Women. More about Art+Feminism campaign on their page.)

This event is hosted by Washington University Libraries and Women in Architecture and Design of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. It is free and open to the community.

A licensed childcare provider will be on site 1-5pm. We have limited capacity, so call to confirm before arrival: (314) 935-5268

Event information

The library is located on the ground floor of the Kemper Art Museum. See Directions and Parking and Accessibility on the website.

What to expect

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; as needed throughout the event, tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers. Women editors, especially women of color and diverse gender expression, are particularly encouraged to attend. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you can get a head start with this this training module.
