Join us in editing articles on visual culture in Asia at our Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, hosted at M+ Research Centre.
Wikipedia Asian Month 2024: Edit-a-thon on Performance Art and Moving Image in Asia brings participants together to discuss, create, and improve Wikipedia articles about visual culture in Asia, with a focus on performance art and moving image. This event is part of AAA and M+’s ongoing effort to contribute to discussions about the representation of art and visual culture in Asia on open-source knowledge platforms. Organised with the assistance of Wikimedia Community User Group Hong Kong, the workshop is held during Wikipedia Asian Month 2024—an annual online event that addresses the underrepresentation of articles about Asia on Wikipedia.
Learn more about the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon series and browse previous entries that participants have added, edited, or translated.
Free and open to the public with registration. We welcome anyone interested in learning about editing Wikipedia to attend, regardless of experience or background.
