PMA Art and Feminism Panel Discussion, hosted by The Chart
Hosted by Jenna Crowder (The Chart), Julien Langevin (artist), Lareese Hall (Director of the Colby College Libraries), and Marcia Minter (Indigo Arts Alliance)
This panel discussion will address how Wikipedia intersects with research and representation.
The PMA Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon is hosted by The Chart alongside Carrie Moyer & Sheila Pepe: Tabernacles for Trying Times, an exhibition that reimagines a familiar form of religious furniture — the tabernacle — as a symbolic location for cultural values such as justice, equality, and knowledge, and which create spaces for community and dialogue.
Art+Feminism is a non-profit organization that directly addresses the inequality of gender, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia. Through building a global community and hosting edit-a-thons around the world, we strive to close the gaps in content and with editors.
The Chart is an art journal based in Maine that supports critical dialogue in the forms of online publishing, print anthologies, and visiting critic programming.
Dream Action Factory is a series of weekly happenings taking place March 5 through June 4, 2020, in conjunction with Carrie Moyer and Sheila Pepe: Tabernacles for Trying Times. Artists, scholars, makers, performers, students, and social organizations will delve into a wide variety of topics from crocheting to community organizing. In this moment of division in our society, Dream Action Factory challenges us to come together with renewed urgency. Over the course of the series, make time and space for dialogue and for finding, amongst our many threads of identity, our common social fabric.
