In 2019, just 18 per cent of biographies on Wikipedia were about women. When it comes to female artists and creators, that number was even lower.
Wikimedia Australia has partnered with the National Gallery of Australia since 2020 as part of its Know My Name gender equity campaign, to enhance the understanding and appreciation of work by Australian artists who identify as women.
Each year in March, we have co-hosted a series of edit-a-thons with galleries and libraries around Australia on the weekend of International Women's day, also as part of Art+Feminism.
Coordinated by Caddie Brain and her team in each state, the first weekend in 2020 saw 125 (mostly first time editors) create 69 new articles about female creators. Across the 7 edit-a-thons, 757 references were added to Wikipedia, and participants edited 223 articles. Read the full story here.
