October 19 | 11:30am – 3:30pm
OJMCHE, in partnership with artist Shoshana Gugenheim Kedem, Art/Lab and A Contemporary Jewish Museum and as part of the Art + Feminism Project, will host the 4th Annual Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon to edit and/or create Wiki pages for Jewish women artists in all genres of art practice. This year’s Edit-a-Thon is presented as part of the Outliers and Outlaws exhibition. We strongly encourage participants to focus their efforts on lesbian and queer Jewish women artists for their research and editing.
No experience necessary! Come as a novice or experienced Wiki editor. Onsite instruction for all stages of editing will be provided.
Please note: this event is hosted for a worldwide audience, and we invite those who do not live in Portland, OR, to join us from your location by Zoom. We will provide a Zoom link close to the day of the event.
Registration is required for both onsite and online participation. Participants can register until October 15th and will receive further instructions closer to the event.
Funding for this program has been generously provided by the Women’s Giving Circle of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland.
“As a feminist amidst a growing, even thriving, worldwide community of Jewish feminists and our supporters, I recognize that the global community of women continues to be underrepresented as culture makers and contributors to the canon of cultural history. This is evident across the arts and influences the way women are recognized (or not) in the canons of encyclopedic knowledge. A Wikipedia edit-a-thon for (but not only by) Jewish women artists aims to increase Jewish women artists’ visibility in the Wikipedia archives thereby achieving a broader global impact regarding these women’s important contributions.” –Shoshana Gugenheim Kedem
