ART+FEMINISM IS AN INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT FOSTERS AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY THAT STRIVES TO CLOSE THE INFORMATION GAP ABOUT GENDER, FEMINISM, AND THE ARTS ON THE INTERNET.
WIKIPEDIA'S GENDER TROUBLE IS WELL DOCUMENTED. IN A 2011 SURVEY, THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION FOUND THAT LESS THAN 10% OF ITS CONTRIBUTORS IDENTIFY AS FEMALE; MORE RECENT RESEARCH PUTS THAT NUMBER AT 16% GLOBALLY AND 23% IN THE UNITED STATES. FURTHER, DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS AND COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS STUDIES HAVE CONCLUDED THAT WIKIPEDIA HAS FEWER AND LESS EXTENSIVE ARTICLES ON WOMEN; THOSE SAME TOOLS HAVE SHOWN GENDER BIASES IN BIOGRAPHICAL ARTICLES. THIS IS A PROBLEM.WHEN CIS AND TRANS WOMEN, NON-BINARY PEOPLE, PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES ARE NOT REPRESENTED IN THE WRITING AND EDITING ON THE TENTH-MOST-VISITED SITE IN THE WORLD, INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE US GETS SKEWED AND MISREPRESENTED. THE STORIES GET MISTOLD. WE LOSE OUT ON REAL HISTORY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE: TO CHANGE IT.FROM COFFEE SHOPS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS TO THE LARGEST MUSEUMS AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD, ART+FEMINISM LEADS A DO-IT-YOURSELF AND DO-IT-WITH-OTHERS CAMPAIGN THAT TEACHES PEOPLE OF ALL GENDER IDENTITIES AND EXPRESSIONS TO EDIT WIKIPEDIA. INFORMED BY CRITICAL PEDAGOGY AND INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES, ART+FEMINISM MOBILIZES, TRAINS AND SUPPORTS A GROWING GLOBAL COMMUNITY THAT COLLECTIVELY CREATES AND UPDATES ARTICLES ON WIKIPEDIA, ADDS IMAGES TO WIKIMEDIA COMMONS, EXPANDS WIKIDATA ENTRIES, AND MORE.SINCE 2014, OVER 18,000 PEOPLE AT MORE THAN 1,260 EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR EDIT-A-THONS, RESULTING IN THE CREATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF MORE THAN 84,000 ARTICLES ON WIKIPEDIA AND SISTER PROJECTS.
