DESCRIPTION:Over 2\,500 people at more than 175 events around the world par
 ticipated in the 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon\, resulting in ov
 er 3\,500 new and improved articles. A collective campaign to improve the 
 representation of and increasing the participation of women on Wikipedia\,
  the project emerged in the fall of 2013 as a response to the well-known g
 aps in the online encyclopedia. Siân Evans (Class of 2005)\, Jacqueline Ma
 bey (Class of 2006) and Michael Mandiberg\, the lead co-organizers of the 
 Art+Feminism project\, will discuss the origins of the project\, its growt
 h (and growing pains)\, and why the collective writing of history matters.
  Co- presented by the Institute for Gender\, Sexuality and Feminist Studie
 s\, Art History & Communication Studies and the ɬ�﷬ Library.\n\nSiân Ev

  University\, and The University of British Columbia\, and her multifariou
 s professional experience in curatorial departments\, public programs\, no

 d complicities of contemporaneity. Recent\, forthcoming\, and ongoing proj

 he arts on Wikipedia\; Utopia is No Place\, Utopia Is Process\, a platform
