Talk:Pio Zirimu

Untitled
For anyone who has contributed to this biography or is watching this page, here is an exciting update. We're project partnering with the Wikimedia Foundation for WikiUnseen. It is an initiative combining innovation and creativity in hopes of addressing the lack of visual representation of Black people, Indigenous peoples, and people of color on our projects and by extension, in the wider ecosystem of free knowledge. We began sharing the works during Black History Month to celebrate this effort. Pio Zirimu is among several biographies that were chosen for the first-ever pilot of WikiUnseen and for whom artwork has been commissioned. Up-and-coming artists from the same region as the selected figures were commissioned for this project and their work will be released under CC0. We plan on updating their Wikipedia articles with the commissioned artwork as well and wanted to let you know. The prospects are exciting.
