ASU’s Second Annual Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
With ASU Hayden Librarians I organized ASU’s Second Annual Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on March 31st, 2017. While our turnout was humble (13 participants) we made 93 edits to 23 articles and added 3,480 words; these were all articles about artists who identify as female. It was a great day; we were happy to be one of 100s of edit-a-thons across the world all happening in March. Check out the International Organization here: http://www.artandfeminism.org/
I co-organized the Phoenix Nasty Women exhibition and Planned Parenthood benefit Jan. 14, 20 + 21 with Colleen Donohoe, Patricia Sannit, Laura Dragon and Erika Hanson. We were one of over ~30 sister shows to the originating Nasty Women benefit at the Knockdown Center in NYC. Our PHX version raised over $19,300 for Planned Parenthood Arizona. In addition to the work on the walls (we received ~320 donated works from Arizona artists) we hosted a dance performance (1/20) by Nicole L. Olsen and DanceArtists and a Nasty Women reading (1/21) curated by Deborah Sussman.
