Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Art+Feminism@SFMOMA 2018

Event details

 * Location: Koret Education Center, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 151 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco
 * Date: Thursday March 8th, 2018
 * Time: 5 - 9 pm

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women. Let’s change that.

Join us in SFMOMA's Koret Education Center on Floor 2 to participate in an evening of communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to gender, art, and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, as well as reference materials and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support.

We invite people of all gender identities and expressions to participate, particularly transgender and cisgender women. This event is free and does not require museum admission.

Schedule
5pm: Event kicks off with opening remarks from Associate Curator of Public Dialogue Deena Chalabi and Assistant Curator of Media Arts Tanya Zimbardo, followed by an editing demo by Wikipedian Britta Gustafson 5:30-7pm: Independent editing with floating mentors 7pm: Welcome late arrivals; repeat of editing demo with Britta 7:10-8:45pm: Independent editing with floating mentors until museum closes!

Who should attend
People of all gender identities and expressions. Please ask your fellow attendees for their pronouns of choice, and be aware of our Safe Space Policy. Children are welcome and SFMOMA and the organizers will support children, parents, and caregivers to the best of our ability. We ask all participants to be supportive of kids, parents, and caregivers wherever they are, as we do not discourage them from attending the event.

Koret Education Center is accessible to wheelchair users. An elevator is located at the main entrance on Third Street.

What to bring
Please bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for articles that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support and learn about Wikipedia. If you do not already have a Wikipedia user account, please create one before you arrive (you can do so here). Please also take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Safe Space Policy.
