Ann Arbor Art + Feminism 2023 Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Artists and activists who identify as women, non-binary, trans, queer, Black, Indigenous, or People of Color only make up a fraction of contributors and content subjects in Wikipedia. To rectify these biases, the U‑M Library, Stamps Gallery, Digital Studies Institute, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art will be hosting the sixth annual Ann Arbor Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. All events are free and open to the public.

Panel Discussion / Friday March 31, 2023 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM
Helmut Stern Auditorium (ground floor), University of Michigan Museum of Art, 525 South State Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109

• Emilia Yang (University of Michigan), co-producer of Downtown Browns
• Diamond E.B. Porter (Washington State University) game developer, artist, critical maker
