| Art+Feminism Beginner Training
Video Part 1 |
Did you know there's a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia? It's called Art+Feminism and it hosts in-person, communal updating of Wikipedia entries. Here's a video explaining how the process works. AJF is working on a similar project to correct and add to the record of contemporary jewelry on Wikipedia, because it's painfully lacking. A small workshop will be hosted by AJF during the SNAG conference in Boston on May 20.
If changing the way contemporary jewelry is represented in the largest global repository of digital knowledge sounds like something you can get behind, contact AJF at [email protected].
