Know My Name NGA Wikipedia edit-a-thon

Saturday 16 March 2024, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm AEDT

Know My Name edit-athon: help tell a new story of Women in Australian art.

Learn how to create and edit Wikipedia entries and help us increase information about Australian women artists on the world’s largest and most popular research tool. Just over 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women. When it comes to women artists, that number is even lower.

Join Alice Woods (Education and Projects Officer, Wikimedia Australia) and the National Gallery’s Research Library staff for a free interactive workshop where you will have the opportunity to work on Wikipedia entries for Australian women artists.

During the workshop you will have access to resources about women artists in the National Gallery’s specialist research library. Basic computer skills are required but no previous Wikipedia editing experience is necessary. Please bring your own laptop. Extra computers will be available on request. Further information will also be provided on registration.

Presented in partnership with Wikimedia Australia as part of the National Gallery’s Know My Name initiative to increase representation of women and gender diverse artists.

Bookings for the edit-a-thon will open soon.

Region: Victoria
Location: Research Library & Archives, National Gallery of Australia
