Heritage Lens
Deoband Community Wikimedia
The Heritage Lens is an initiative of the Deoband Community Wikimedia that aims at the representation of Muslim heritage within the Wikimedia projects. The name was idealised by DCW's Creative Head Munazza Anjum, and the first official iteration under this program is conducted in and around Deoband, in India, from 23 July to 25 July 2023. The initiative has been developed in response to DCW's Strategic Recommendations from February 2023.
