Art+Feminism builds a community of activists that is committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia. (https://artandfeminism.org/about/)
Art+Feminism is a global initiative addressing the gender gap on Wikipedia by improving content on cis and trans women, gender non-binary people, the arts, and feminism. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female; more recent research points to 16% globally and 22% in the US. The data relative to trans and gender non-binary editors is basically non-existent. That’s a huge problem. It’s a problem because without representation from cis and trans women and gender non-binary people in the preservation of their own stories, we get skewed content that misses the mark on the value and existence of their impact on history. We work with organizers on all 6 inhabitable continents to host events (known as edit-a-thons) that teach people of all gender identities how to edit on Wikipedia and address the gender gap. (https://artandfeminism.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/EN_Quick-Guide-for-Editors-2020.pdf)
In 2014, Art+Feminism's inaugural campaign attracted 600 volunteers at 30 separate events. The following year, a total of 1,300 volunteers attended 70 events that took place across 17 different countries, on four continents. Since then more than 20,000 people have taken part in over 1,500 events. This has led to positive results in over 100,000 Wikipedia articles. More than 18,000 people have participated and created or improved approximately 84,000 Wikipedia articles at 1,260 events globally, as of 2020. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art%2BFeminism)
