Museums, Media, Data & Gender: How to Make Images of Women More Visible on Wikimedia?
Michaela Blanc, Lucy Moore, Giovanna Fontenelle

This session intends to be a collaborative workshop in which participants will learn how to better use Wiki-related tools to make images of women (fictional and real) more visible on Wikimedia projects. Attendees will explore how museums and their media collections are particularly useful in uplifting women's stories, contributions, and perspectives while employing structured data on Commons.

This workshop will be conducted by Michaela Blanc (Wikimedian in Residence at Pérez Art Museum Miami; Regional Ambassador, Art+Feminism), Lucy Moore (Wikimedian and researcher), and Giovanna Fontenelle (Program Officer, Culture and Heritage, Wikimedia Foundation).
