In collaboration with Wikimedia NYC and Art+Feminism, Barnard College Library is hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon around women artists and activism.

Inspired by Barnard Archives’ recent acquisition of artist Sabra Moore’s papers, this edit-a-thon offers Barnard College and the wider community a chance to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of women artists - in particular those working for social justice in the 1970s through the mid-1990s. Moore’s work with the Heresies Collective and other feminist arts organizations was groundbreaking in its expansion of feminist and political discourse in this period.

Continuing in that spirit we invite folks from within and outside the Barnard community to add the contributions of these important women - and those of other women artists - into Wikipedia. This edit-a-thon will teach the fundamentals of creating and editing in Wikipedia and increase access to scholarship surrounding the Heresies Collective and related artists. By “hacking the canon,” we aim to correct the omission of women artists, including LGBTQ artists, and artists of color from the art historical record and from general knowledge.
