PAMM Wikimedia-related Public Programs
PAMM Wikimedian in Residence program seeks to improve visual arts content online through Wikimedia-related public programming and Wikipedia articles. For this purpose, the series of public programs co-organized by the Residence in collaboration with museum staff has gathered an international and multilingual network of Wiki practitioners, visual artists, educators, students, scholars, librarians, museum professionals, and social justice advocates from South Florida and beyond.

The series of events included Educator + Teen Workshop Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (March 2023 and 2024), Wikimedia a (New) Topic for Museums: Intro Training (April 2023), Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Miami Summit (May 2023).

Educator + Teen Workshop Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
The event series started with an online demonstration and celebration of Women's History Month for museum staff on March 8, 2023. In the following week, on March 16, 2023, the WIR and the education department hosted the first iteration of the Educator + Teen Workshop Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, a workshop and media literacy project for the PAMM Teen Arts Council (PTAC) and their favorite educators.

After a pause in public programs for the fall of 2023 due tosignificant undertakings on Wikidata, Wiki programs resumed in the spring of 2024 with the second-year edition of the Educator + Teen Workshop Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, on March 7, 2024. In the two-hour event, attendees celebrated Women’s History Month by discussing the gender gap on Wikimedia projects in the education studio and engaging with reference materials and publications in the PAMM library. The in-person training and editing session brought forward the work of female artists on view in the galleries.
