উইকি অদেখা

ছবির শক্তি আছে। আপনি কি জানেন যে আমাদের জন্য শব্দের তুলনায় ছবি বা চিত্র মনে রাখার সম্ভাবনা বেশি? এবং ইন্টারনেটে, লোকজন যা খুঁজে পায় তার উপর ছবির একটি প্রভাব রয়েছে কারণ অনুসন্ধান ইঞ্জিনগুলো ছবি ছাড়া উইকিপিডিয়া নিবন্ধের তুলনায় ছবিসহ নিবন্ধগুলোকে বেশি সূচিবদ্ধ করে? এই দুটি কারণ উন্মুক্ত জ্ঞান বাস্তুতন্ত্রকে চাপে রাখায় দায়ী: কৃষ্ণাঙ্গ, আদিবাসী এবং অশ্বেতাঙ্গ বর্ণের মানুষদের (বিআইপিওসি) দৃশ্যমান প্রতিনিধিত্বের অভাব। তাহলে উইকিপিডিয়ার অসংখ্য বিআইপিওসি জীবনী থাকার অর্থ কী যেগুলোতে ছবি নেই? এর অর্থ হল অনেক নিবন্ধ অপঠিত, অপ্রকাশিত এবং অদেখা রয়ে গেছে৷

How it all came together

The Wiki Unseen project started with recognizing the visual gaps within the open knowledge environment. We kicked off this project with a list of 2,000 notable BIPOC people whose pictures could not be found on Wikipedia and, with the help of our partners at AfroCROWD, we narrowed it down to 20 historical figures. We counted on the expertise of our partners at Bēhance who suggested three artists from the same region as the subjects we wanted to illustrate; each artist chose two names they wished to depict. By commissioning original artwork and making it freely available – released under a Creative Commons Attribute Sharealike License, we are helping Wikimedia communities and people everywhere visualize what these historical figures – left unseen for far too long – looked like.

There is more than one way to tackle a problem this complex and make lasting change. Why did we take this approach? We decided to illustrate notable figures to combine knowledge and creativity, all while providing up-and-coming artists who hail from the same regions as those figures an opportunity to share their talent with the world in an artful and unique manner. Art inspires, drives change, and encourages people to share their vision, which can lead to increasing awareness of this pressing problem. Other possible approaches include procuring actual pictures and releasing them under a suitable license for Wikimedia projects. Successful procurement however can require significant or recurring licensing fees, ongoing negotiations or requesting the public release of photography from family collections.

These are not the only pages on Wikipedia without photographs, however. There are multiple community-led projects that aim at closing knowledge gaps on Wikipedia—and everywhere. This resource, created by Whose Knowledge, should serve as a helpful guide for drawing Unseen figures for Wikipedia. When you make drawings of a person based on photos, you can take them as inspiration or reference. But you must make sure that your drawing is not: (1) a reproduction – the same image copied in a different mean; or (2) a derivative work – a new work with many recognizable elements of the original.

There are more than one million biographies that are missing pictures on English Wikipedia alone. If you would like to share your talent and help us close visual knowledge gaps, you can create an illustration and submit it to the Wikimedia Commons. Before you start, read the instructions below to ensure your submission will be accepted.

Notable figures missing pictures

If you would like to help but do not know where to start, check out the list below which features notable BIPOC whose pictures cannot be found on Wikipedia—or elsewhere. Like everything else on Wikipedia, it is important that the work uploaded is factually correct, so also add your research notes and source so your artwork can be considered and verified. Thank you for helping us share the knowledge by sharing your talent with the world!

Join a campaign

Wikipedia is powered by humans, so it is vulnerable to human biases. It is also a reflection of structural and historical inequalities in opportunity and representation experienced by many groups around the world. Join other volunteers who are working to ensure Wikipedia represents the full, rich diversity of all humanity. Les sans pagEs, Whose Knowledge's #VisibleWikiWomen, and Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos are some venues for contributing creativity to Wikimedia projects.

প্রায়শ জিজ্ঞাসিত প্রশ্ন

উইকি অদেখা কী

Wiki Unseen is a Wikimedia Foundation project in partnership with AfroCROWD, up-and-coming artists, and Behance, a global network for creativity. In its pilot phase, the project will be expanding the visual representation of six Black figures in Wikimedia projects coinciding with February, which marks Black History Month in some countries. Wiki Unseen was born out of a visible gap and inspired by existing efforts in the movement to advance knowledge equity and representation. The hope is to see its model replicated in the movement. By commissioning these works and releasing them under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license, they will be freely usable on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and anywhere else by anyone in the world.

আপনি কিভাবে এই প্রকল্পের অগ্রসরের পদ্ধতি নির্বাচন করেছেন?

We understand that there is more than one way to tackle a problem as complex as systemic underrepresentation and make lasting change. We chose to illustrate notable figures so we could combine knowledge and creativity, while providing up-and-coming artists who hail from the same regions as those figures an opportunity to share their talent with the world in a unique way. By using art we will be able to inspire, drive change, and encourage people to share their vision, which will lead to increased awareness of this pressing problem.

At the same time, procuring pictures and releasing them under a CC0 or any other free license is not always possible. That's why the English Wikipedia devotes a section of its non-free content policy to images that have "no free equivalent." Even successful procurements can require significant or recurring licensing fees, ongoing negotiations, or requesting the public release of photography from family collections. Wiki Unseen's approach is designed to complement the procurement of CC0 photography and invite underrepresented artists to join the Wikimedia movement to close visual knowledge gaps by contributing something that doesn't limit how they want to tell their story. Ensuring diverse identities feel represented the way they want to be and empowered to access and contribute to free knowledge is key to increasing equity and inclusivity on and off Wikimedia projects.

এই প্রকল্পের লক্ষ্য কী?

আমাদের লক্ষ্য হল কৃষ্ণাঙ্গ, আদিবাসী এবং অন্যান্য বর্ণের মানুষদের ছবিরে মাধ্যমে তুলে ধরা যাদের ছবি উইকিপিডিয়া বা সমগ্র ইন্টারনেট জগতে এখনও অনুপস্থিত। আমরা তিনটি ভিন্ন অঞ্চলের ছয়জন উল্লেখযোগ্য কৃষ্ণাঙ্গ ব্যক্তিকে নিয়ে এই প্রকল্পটি শুরু করছি কারণ আমরা ফেব্রুয়ারি মাসে এই উদ্যোগটি চালু করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছি, যখন কিছু এলাকায় "কৃষ্ণ ইতিহাস" মাস পালিত হয়।
