Correcting Gender Biases: Art+Feminism

Art+Feminism, an international community made up of thinkers, artists, community leaders and activists, has been working to correct gender biases on Wikipedia since 2014. Join Executive Director Kira Wisniewski and U.S.- Mid-Atlantic Regional Ambassador Sophie Reverdy as they share how Art+Feminism has helped to broaden awareness of women and gender nonbinary artists one Wikipedia edit at a time. They will discuss the limitations and opportunities of Wikipedia’s open source format, how Art+Feminism’s work has progressed over the years, and the impact of this work on women and gender nonbinary artists. Following the panel will be a Q&A session.

This event is available exclusively on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. You don’t need an account on either platform to enjoy the program.
