2023 Outcomes

The Power of Collective Action - Art+Feminism in 2023 “I was able to understand that the impact on existing structures of oppression can be much greater when we act together for a more just, diverse, and socially equitable world. And working together to change these structures is one of our goals.” Resurfacing the words of former lead co-organizer, Juliana Monteiro

We’re excited to share the power of our Collective Action in Year 10 of Ar+Feminism.

During this year’s A+F campaign, our collective efforts have culminated in the coordination of 138 events worldwide, bringing together nearly 2000 dedicated editors! https://w.wiki/7FZJ [Data Map]

As we pause to reflect, we're truly humbled by the incredible power of our community. A heartfelt thank you for being an essential part of it all! Here are some key moments that shaped our journey throughout this campaign.

  • On April 15, 2023, we hosted editing workshops, art creation, and interactive sessions virtually and in-person at the Emerson Unitarian Universalist Church in Houston.
  • We launched a Celebration Fund asking past organizers what Art+Feminism looked like in their region? 
  • Wiki Advocates Philippines published a newsletter reflecting on the Art+Feminism campaign in the Philippines from 2020 to 2023.
  • We worked on a forthcoming US-focused print and digital zine that brings together interviews with three of A+F’s founders, artful submissions from the A+F community, and images from events over the past decade.


Together we went beyond the Edit-a-thon and took action in the Community:

  • The Art+Feminism team in collaboration with Vic Sfriso of Wikimedia Argentina, Owen Blacker of Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, translated a Wikipedia and LGBTQ+ guide that invites reflection on the writing of biographies of trans, non-binary and other members of the LGBTQIA+ community and what it means to write about their lives on Wikipedia, from a human rights perspective.
  • One of our North American RAs, Sophie Reverdy, co-organized an edit-a-thon dedicated to improving the article for “Abortion in Maryland” while also fundraising for the Baltimore Abortion Fund.
  • At the Art+Feminism x Wiki Advocates Philippines UG: Virtual Meetup, our Regional Ambassadors, Padmini and Anthony, led an engaging session. They introduced attendees to the ISA tool, a handy resource for enhancing image descriptions on Wikimedia Commons. Furthermore, they provided valuable insights on how to actively contribute to Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
  • Michaela has been using A+F resources during her residency at Perez Art Museum. She did a significant amount of outreach, especially to Brazilian organizations this year which we hope will generate more participation for the 2024 campaign. She is also a celebration fund awardee and is currently working on an English and Spanish translation of a book that NaPupila published as part of their A+F work.
  • One of our North American RAs, Sophie Reverdy, co-organized an edit-a-thon dedicated to improving the article for “Abortion in Maryland” while also fundraising for the Baltimore Abortion Fund.
  • Together we continued to commit to learn and unlearn with trainings in disability justice led by Peoples Hub and continued organization-wide conversations about Equity

2022 Outcomes

We send you huge congratulation and applause as a member of the Art+Feminism community! According to our metrics, this year you joined over 1500 participants at 120 events hosted in 27 different languages. Thanks to this community, we’ve given one more step towards closing the information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia.

For the ninth year of Art+Feminism, the leadership team urged event organizers to center community care within the context of COVID-19. Thus, we encouraged you to organize virtually as a way to minimize risks for those who are most vulnerable. We’re happy that our call was heard and most of the events this year either happened virtually or had virtual components. Here are some highlights about this years’ events and organizers:

  • Events all year round: Since 2019, Art+Feminism’s do-it-yourself spirit has been bolstered by help from our microfunds and support from our regional ambassador network. This has allowed events to be organized any time during the year. This past year, the first event was hosted in September 2021 in Texas, and the most recent one was hosted in September in Kenya.
  • Beyond the edit-a-thon: We all love the excitement and community spirit during edit-a-thons, and this year our communities expanded this work and displayed their creativity in different types of activities, such as talks, workshops, fanzines, and artistic public interventions. The topics of talks and workshops included inclusive language, digital activism, the right to access information, and specific artistic production.
  • Focus beyond the arts: Art+Feminism has become an umbrella campaign to edit within topics that are most relevant to each community. Our campaign now transcends the arts and includes fields such as architecture, engineering, politics, leadership and governance, technology, education and sports. Some niche topics inside the arts were art and democracy, Black theater, music, design and writing.
  • Making Connections: More communities are organizing transregional events at interconnected venues, with presence in virtual components.
  • Other wikiprojects: We are seeing more organizers exploring projects such as Wikidata and WikiQuote, and not just Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. It’s also very common that Art+Feminism events are starting points for the creation of content in new language versions of Wikipedia.

All this and more has been possible thanks to you.

Narrative description

In light of the global pandemic of COVID-19, some of our scheduled events were able to pivot to virtual space, exhibiting a remarkable adaptability by various Art+Feminism edit-a-thons organizers. Thanks to this, successful virtual events were held in Armenia, Brazil, Poland, across the US and more. Unfortunately not all organizers were able to shift to in-person to virtual events and their planned activities were ultimately canceled. As we prepare for our 2020-2021 campaign, “business as usual” is not effective or appropriate as we continue to be in a global pandemic simultaneously with a civil rights movement. It’s been reported that in a recent study, the majority of people will not feel comfortable returning to museums until a vaccine for COVID-19 is widely available. The pandemic is allowing us to focus internally and be less number driven. We want to work on intentional care and deepen our relationships within our community.

Participants this year created articles for Irma Poma Canchumani, Mavi Doñate, Rhina Toruño, Group Material, Hertha Sponer, Marian Pastor Roces, Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill, Ingeborg Kahlenberg, People's Flag Show, Anne Marie Komissar, Kasturba Gandi, Guadalupe Rosales, Jota Mombaça, Bety Reis, Joana D'Arc da Silva Cavalcante, Djuena Tikuna, Olga Mariano, Lina Bögli and Anne Boyer, to name a few.

We also want to acknowledge and thank all the organizers and partners whose events, unfortunately, weren’t able to move forward this year as planned. We recognize and celebrate their labor and efforts, as well. We are truly thankful for our global community!

Narrative description

edit

For a more fleshed out reporting of events, [see here.]

4,360 people attended 311 events around the world in 43 countries, which took place during the months of March and April. The goal of the Art+Feminism campaign is to bolster coverage of feminism, gender, and the arts on Wikipedia — as a response to the encyclopedia’s well-known content gaps.

Highlights of articles created and improved include Anni Albers, Winifred Hall Allen, Archivo Histórico del movimiento de lesbianas feministas de México, Mieke Bal, Deanna Bowen, Tania Bruguera, Jade Nasogaluak Carpenter, Elizabeth Catlett, Sarah Charlesworth, Sarah Charlesworth, Feminatywum, Che Gossett, Barbara Hammer, Nancy Holt, Holly Lee, Luanne Martineau, Haruko Okano, Judy Pfaff, Griselda Pollock, Gabriela Rodríguez, Leanne Simpson, and Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell.

This year, we saw a more than 300% increase in community across Facebook (86% growth) and Instagram (311% growth). We also made a major change to our communications and organizing strategy; launching the Gender and The Non-Binary campaign. The campaign facilitated greater growth and engagement among our digital communities due to the use of our hashtags #artandfeminism, #noweditingaf, and #beyondthebinary. Through the consistent use of the hashtag and our focus on engaging our online communities in conversation around their experiences related to gender equity, gender identity, women's rights, trans rights as human rights, and intersectional feminism we were able to amplify our messaging and reach.

We had approximately 200 participants come through MoMA: librarians, academics, curators, artists, art lovers, feminists, male allies, experienced Wikipedians, etc. Trainings were held throughout the day, in multiple locations across three floors of the Department of Education. New and experienced editors worked in a variety spaces: the mezzanine level, two classrooms, the Time Warner theatre, multiple lounges, and the library. The day was marked by a spirit of collaboration, with spontaneous volunteering and enthusiastic team editing.

There were over 75 events around the world, from small gatherings of friends to large groups at significant cultural institutions like LACMA, the Walker Art Center, and the Stedelijk Museum. We estimate that at least 400 new articles created, and another 500 articles with significant improvements. Please see below for the full list of nodes.

A handful of the newly created articles include: Elise Forrest Harleston, Amy Maria Sacker, Janet Payne Bowles, Lisl Steiner, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Kali (fine artist), Betty G. Miller, Camille Henrot, Sarah McEneaney, Kyle DeWoody, Jennie C. Jones, and the Heresies Collective.

Narrative description

edit

We had 150 participants come through Eyebeam: librarians, academics, curators, artists, art lovers, feminists, male allies, experienced Wikipedians, etc. At the peak midway through, we ran out of chairs! At the start there was excitement in the air, along with some anxiety about the technicalities of editing Wikipedia, but after a series of 20 minute training sessions the participants got to work. A few hours in everything had gelled, and people were hard at work. It was such a good atmosphere. Many of the other locations described a similar experience.

There were 30 satellite events around the world, with attendances ranging from 6 to 60. We know that there were at least 101 new articles created, and another 90 articles with significant improvements. We expect that number to rise, as a lot of work has yet to be accounted for, and it is going to take a few days (or more) to figure out exactly how much we accomplished.

A handful of the initial list of 95 or so created articles includes: Mary Miss, Joan Semmel, Lisa Oppenheim, Frances Stark, Eve Mosher, Laurie Halsey Brown, Xaviera Simmons, Patti Warashina, Cosima von Bonin, Liza Bear, Lizzie Fitch, Senga Nengudi, Monika Bravo, and Zarina. The current list is here: Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism_2014/Outcomes

The reason that we do not have exact numbers for articles created is that some new articles are stuck in the Articles for creation process, which can take up to 3 weeks. At the Eyebeam event we advocated skipping this process, and creating articles directly from red links. Additionally, many of the participants failed to record all the work they did on the results page despite our best efforts. This is somewhat inevitable. given there were 31 events, with roughly 600 participants.
