Wikipedia editathon for cultural diversity in visual art

As part of the World Festival of Cultural Diversity, the Khalili Foundation, SOAS, and Wikimedia UK welcome you to a half-day Wikipedia edit-a-thon focused on visual art. The session will include training in wiki editing and experienced Wikipedians will be on hand to help you make changes that stick.

Wikipedia is the world's most popular reference web site, but its coverage of visual art strongly emphasises European culture. We invite you to join us in improving Wikipedia's articles or creating new articles on art from cultures outside the Western canon. You don't need to be an expert in Wikipedia or in visual art but come open-minded and willing to learn about this fascinating topic.

Please bring your own laptop to this event. The edit-a-thon will take place in room G3 on the ground floor.

We are committed to providing a welcoming experience for everyone, regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, appearance, race or religion. Find out more about Wikimedia UK's Safe Space Policy
