[From Sian Evans, coordinator of the ARLIS/NA Women and Art Special Interest Group:]
Dear friends,
I’m in the process of co-organizing an Art and Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon atEyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York and I need your help! In your research and instruction have you come across Wikipedia articles on women artists/feminist artists that are woefully lacking? Do you have any interest in organizing a satellite event on February 1st at your institution? Here’s what we need to get started:
· Suggested Topics (we’d like to focus on 20th/21st century art but are open to other suggestions, including related to art and technology)
· Articles needing creation
· Articles needing expansion and/or cleanup
· Suggestions for research materials
Alternatively, if you’re interested in hosting a satellite event, please also be in touch. You can reach us at: artandfeminismwiki@gmail.com or feel free to reach out to me directly. And also please pass this along to anyone you think might be interested!
You can find more information about the event (including locations of other satellite events, like that being held at National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC) at our meet-up page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism
Or, if you prefer, on Tumblr: http://artandfeminism.tumblr.com/
Very best,
Siân
