Help us improve the representation of women and non-binary artists on Wikipedia for International Women’s Day.

Art+Feminism: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2023 brings participants together to discuss, share, create, and improve Wikipedia articles about women and non-binary artists in and from Asia. Organised with assistance from the Wikimedia Community User Group in Hong Kong, this event is part of Art+Feminism—an international initiative that strives to close information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts.

Learn more about the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon series, and browse previous entries that participants have added, edited, or translated.

This workshop will take place at CCG Library, Asia Art Archive. 

The event is free and open to the public with registration. We welcome anyone and everyone interested in learning about editing Wikipedia to attend, regardless of experience or background.
