Hi Wiki Yorkers,
Join us at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building
at The Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54th Street, on Saturday, March 11,
2017 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for an all-day communal updating of Wikipedia
entries on subjects related to art and feminism. There will be childcare,
snacks, multiple trainings and panel discussions. People of all gender
identities and expressions welcomed and encouraged to attend.
This year’s edit-a-thon kicks off at 10:00 a.m. with a conversation about
information activism with writer Joanne McNeil and Data & Society Research
Institute Fellow Zara Rahman, moderated by Kimberly Drew, the social media
manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, creator of the Tumblr “Black
Contemporary Art,” and the person behind @museummammy on Instagram.
Afternoon breakout groups will engage in focused discussions about related
issues, including intersectionality and librarianship, power structures in
notability guidelines on Wikipedia, and radical archives.
