Background
ArtAndFeminism 2014 in Chicago
Wikipedia's
gender trouble is well documented. In a 2010 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female.
[1] The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation.
In February 2014, Siân Evans (
Art Libraries Society of North America 's Women and Art Special Interest Group), Jacqueline Mabey (
The office of failed projects ),
Michael Mandiberg ,
Laurel Ptak , and Richard Knipel and Dorothy Howard (
Metropolitan New York Library Council ) of
Wikimedia NYC , organized an ArtAndFeminism edit-athon at
Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in New York City. More than 30 satellite events were organized in Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. The campaign attracted an estimated 600 participants, resulting in more than 100 new Wikipedia articles focused on women and the arts.
Following up on the success of last year's initiative, a constellation of Art + Feminism edit-a-thons will take place around the world on International Women's Day weekend, March 7-8, 2015.
LACMA will host the official Los Angeles event, co-organized by the online magazine
East of Borneo and the
Women's Center for Creative Work , on Sunday, March 8.
