Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Art+Feminism@SFAI 2017

Art+Feminism is an international campaign to improve content on women and the arts on Wikipedia and encourage female editorship and participation in the online encyclopedia. San Francisco Art Institute is hosting a special satellite edit-a-thon in the Walter and McBean Galleries, currently home to A Living Thing, an installation by the artist Mel Ziegler. Throughout its run, A Living Thing offers a sanctuary for conversations, performances, debate, and acts of solidarity and resistance—through an open mic during all gallery hours, and an open call to anyone in the local community who wishes to contribute to the life represented by the flag.

By taking this installation as its stage and platform, this event celebrates the “open mic” dimension of Wikipedia, and is a chance to put the diverse and specialized resources of the adjacent Anne Bremer Memorial Library to use as reference material for building up Wikipedia content on topics related to art and feminism.

On Saturday, March 25th, 2017, we will come together to share and grow knowledge about art, feminism, diversity, and Wikipedia; working together to improve articles and contribute to discussions relating to these topics.

People with no Wikipedia editing experience are welcome; there will be experienced editors who can help you get started and answer all of your questions. Experienced Wikipedians are also welcome to come learn more about contemporary art, contribute to Wikipedia, and help others to become involved.

 * 3:00-3:30 PM: Lightning talks in the upstairs gallery - open mic for short talks, conversations about Wiki life. (Or feel free to keep working downstairs).
