Art+Feminism began as a conversation between four friends who wanted to create meaningful changes to the body of knowledge available about women on Wikipedia. We had no idea that what started as a small gathering would mushroom into a global movement.
Why?
Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. 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 representation. This represents an alarming absence in an important repository of shared knowledge.
Our Impact
Every March since 2014, we've gathered in 175+ cities across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists like Muriel Cooper, Aya Tarek, and Sandra Cintro.
Who We Are
We are feminists, artists, art workers, and art lovers committed to contributing our specific knowledge to the Commons. Our feminisms are intersectional and inclusive. We have different perspectives and practices but share the belief that art is fundamental to thriving societies and strive to make visible the lives and work of underrepresented artists.
