On 18 May 2024, the New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject and Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand are collaborating on an edit-a-thon focusing on improving content on New Zealand women in architecture.
We’re pleased to bring back the Walking Tour and Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for 2024. The two concurrent events will be held on Saturday 18 May 2024.
Women still make up less than 20% of biographies on Wikipedia, and the New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject aims to fill the gaps in the digital realm and increase the visibility of prolific female architects.
Originally inspired by the book Making Space (editor Elizabeth Cox), we will be continuing last year’s work to increase articles about women and non-binary people in or from Aotearoa New Zealand who work in architecture and related fields.
A+W NZ is fortunate enough to be joined by Lisa Maule, who will be our Wikipedia expert on the day. Lisa contributes to a multitude of Wikipedia projects that aim to increase the diversity on Wikipedia, including Women in Red, Pasifika Arts Aotearoa, and Women in STEAM Aotearoa.
Tickets are available here.
