Join the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and Smithsonian Libraries as we host our first ever Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon in honor of Women's History Month. Help us improve representation of female and female-identifying performance and new media artists on Wikipedia. Anyone and everyone interested in learning how to edit Wikipedia, regardless of experience, gender, or background, is welcome to attend. Please bring a laptop and charging cord.
