Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. 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 female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

Let’s change that! Join us at the Art Feminism Tacos Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2015 at the Oracle Club in Long Island City on Saturday, June 13th, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for an all-day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. Bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. Women, non-gender binary, and all allies welcomed.
