Description

This event now starts at 1pm instead of 12pm.

What does the future of feminist art look like in the age of AI?

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 Wikimedia. As generative AI plays a larger role in the internet, it is more important than ever to diversify it. Join us to learn how you can take action to address this imbalance by editing Wikipedia and Wikidata!

The event will kick off with a panel of University of Michigan faculty members on creating a feminist, inclusive, and more equitable internet.

The presentation will be followed by a Wikipedia and Wikidata Edit-a-thon. That’s right – for the first time, Ann Arbor Art + Feminism will incorporate Wikidata as well as Wikipedia. Wikidata can be described as Wikipedia’s structured data counterpart, designed as an open platform that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. Wikidata ensures that all Wikimedia projects – like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons – can get their information from the same place. As a freely available information resource, it also can be used to standardize and enrich other open databases and software. We will provide a hands-on workshop for beginners, reference materials, and lunch from Jerusalem Garden.

This event is in partnership with the University of Michigan Library and LSA Technology Services.
