Event description
Art+Feminism is a global campaign to improve the coverage of cis and transgender women, non-binary folks, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia. Since its establishment in 2013, the Art+Feminism movement has grown exponentially with 500+ events taking place around the world. This year, the project has been expanded to include correcting and developing the histories of gender non-binary artists and activists on Wikipedia. This event is co-sponsored by both the Penn’s Women Center and the Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality, and Women.
