Description

Join us for a night of community, social activism, and art. To help repair the gender bias on Wikipedia, we’re hosting a virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. Held live via Zoom, participants will edit, update, and create new Wikipedia pages for woman artists, particularly those in the new exhibition Don’t let this be easy. No prior experience is required. We will teach you!

At 6 pm, there will be a live tutorial for those new to Wikipedia editing. Resources for research will be provided. You are encouraged to chat with other participants and ask questions throughout the evening.
