AfroCreatives WikiProjekt

Az AfroCreatives Wikiprojekt célja, hogy támogassa és mozgósítsa az afrikai kulturális és kreatív iparágak alkotóit és szakértőit, valamint az afrikai kultúra szerelmeseit, hogy hozzájáruljanak az afrikai kreatív gazdasággal kapcsolatos ismeretekhez a Wikipédián és bővítsék azokat. Az AfroCreatives élén a The Africa Narrative (TAN) áll, egy olyan nonprofit szervezet, mely egyedi, nagy hatású kezdeményezéseket dolgoz ki az afrikai kulturális és kreatív iparágak támogatására.

ACWP was launched with an initial focus on African Film and Television, serving as a foundation for learning and future growth across other cultural and creative industries. In 2026, ACWP is expanding its scope to include African fashion, literature, and photography, alongside film.
ACWP is spearheaded by The Africa Narrative (TAN), a non-profit working to empower African creatives and strengthen Africa's cultural soft power.

Hatáskör
AfroCreatives WikiProjekt +film
Az AfroCreatives WikiProjekt első, 2022 júliusában induló projektje Egyiptom, Nigéria, Ruanda és Szenegál filmes ágazatait célozza meg azzal a céllal, hogy:
- Fejleszteni a filmipar kapacitását Egyiptomban, Nigériában, Ruandában és Szenegálban, hogy hozzájárulhassanak a Wikipédiához és más Wikimédia-projektekhez.
- A kontinens filmiparáról szóló afrikai tartalmak növelése a Wikipédián és más Wikimédia-projekteken a közösségi szervezők hálózatán keresztül.
- A nagyközönség figyelmének és érdeklődésének felkeltése a Wikipédia iránt, amely Egyiptom, Nigéria, Ruanda és Szenegál, valamint tágabb értelemben Afrika filmiparára vonatkozó értékes információk forrása.
- Használd ezt az első AfroCreatives WikiProjektet, hogy megtudd, hogyan lehet a legjobban bővíteni az erőfeszítéseket más országokra és más kreatív ágazatokra.
ACWP+film launched its first campaign in July of 2022, featuring edit-a-thons in Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal. In 2024 the initiative expanded with a 16-country campaign in partnership with Festival panafricain du cinéma et de la télévision Ouagadougou (FESPACO), Africa’s largest film festival, and other partners that included national film authorities, industry guilds and associations, and US embassies.
Key outcomes of the 2024 campaign included:
- Number of organizing communities: 20 (from 16 African countries: Benin Republic, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Ghana, Guinea-Conakry, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Sudan, Togo, and Tanzania)
- Megszervezett események száma: 30
- Szerkesztők száma: 229
- Létrehozott Wikipédia-cikkek száma: 620
- Javított Wikipédia-cikkek száma: 660
- Commons feltöltések száma: 293
In 2025, ACWP+film continued to expand its reach with a Wikipedia edit-a-thon campaign from 2 August to 30 September in over 2 dozen countries. [results forthcoming]
In 2026, ACWP activities—including its anchor campaign—will broaden its coverage of African cultural and creative industries to include fashion, literature, and photography, alongside film. The ACWP program will also launch a dedicated Commons drive in the fourth quarter.
The ACWP Commons drive will be carried out in collaboration with organizers of key cultural and creative industry events serving African fashion, film, literature and photography. The onsite workshops, targeted at creative industry stakeholders, aim to enrich the visibility of these industries through improved image representation on Wikipedia.
An October 2024 survey conducted by ACWP of over 2,580 articles of African actresses, actors, and directors on English Wikipedia found that:
- Less than a third (29%) of articles have an image
- 1 in 4 (43%) had a low-quality image
- Almost a quarter (23%) have an image over 10 years old
