Feminist WikiMarathon 2016

xx CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FRAGMENTED HI/STORIES

Slovenia / 2016 
Intermedia event

Wikipedia is a popular and highly-visited
free and collaborative internet encyclopaedia
which provides the possibility to gather
information on a variety of topics, including
those which are neglected or completely
ignored. The project Rewriting Wikipedia
showed a shortage of contributions on
many important women artists, scientists,
politicians and other well-known female
public figures. The same is true for the
Slovenian Wikipedia.

A project of two-day
intensive complementing of the Slovenian
Wikipedia has already been realised twice
(2013 and 2014) on the initiative of the artist
Ana Čigon.

Feminist WikiMarathon 2016 is
dedicated to writing contributions
on the Slovenian women artists that
participated at the International Festival
of Contemporary Arts City of Women from
its inception in 1995 up to today.

We invite to participate in complementing the
Slovenian Wikipedia all female writers and
experts on different artists that participated at
the International Festival of Contemporary Arts
City of Women. Join us on the 11th and/or 16th of
October 2016 either in person or virtually.

You will be able to learn writing in Wikipedia at
the event held at Škuc Gallery though we suggest
you write the contribution and find written
sources, required by Wikipedia, beforehand.
Those not versed in writing Wikipedia are also
invited - it won’t take you long to learn. Detailed
information on the event and ways to join us is
available further down and in the Wiki page of
the event.

If you can’t attend our meeting, you can still
participate in the project – communicate that
you wish to participate virtually and send the
contribution you are working on. Write to
wikimaraton2013@gmail.com for all additonal
questions.

In Slovene.
