There is a significant gender gap on Wikipedia. These well-documented gender inequities are most apparent in the under-representation of women and non-binary artists on Wikipedia and its sister projects and they directly contribute to a bias in content and language and the erasure of knowledge and history. Projects like Art+Feminism help to train editors to counter gender bias, creating greater digital literacy and knowledge equity in participants. In this presentation and workshop led by Amber Berson, an advisor at Art+Feminism, a project that works for a more equitable Wikipedia, you will learn the importance of not just how to edit but how to read Wikipedia, and the ways activism is helping to address the platform’s systemic biases.
