Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not; content is skewed by the lack of entries about women, trans women, queer folks, and BIPOC. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, and refreshments and food. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate. Childcare will be provided free of charge by reservation. We are committed to creating a safe space for all participants.
