Event:Queer Women in Arts
Wikimedia LGBT+Queer Women in Arts
[edit]In celebration of International Women’s History Day, Art+Feminism is teaming up with WikiLGBT+ for an exciting panel discussion and Wikidata training centering Queer Women in the Arts on Friday, March 6 at 16:30 UTC.
This panel brings together visual artists Ad Minoliti, Ana Raylander Martis dos Anjos, and Ceci Estalles from Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina to explore visibility, memory, and representation at the intersection of art, gender, and technology. The conversation will reflect on artistic and archival practices, and on how emerging technologies shape cultural narratives and access to knowledge, particularly for LGBTQ+ women and gender-diverse communities. This conversation will be presented in Spanish and Portuguese, with interpretation available between Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
The panel will be followed by a hands-on Wikidata editing training, focusing on identifying notable LGBTQ+ women and gender-diverse artists who are missing from Wikidata or whose existing entries are incomplete or minimal. This training will be presented in Spanish with interpretation available in Portuguese and English.
Participants are invited to contribute suggestions of LGBTQ+ women and gender-diverse artists or artistic works that are missing from Wikipedia and Wikidata, or that require improvement through a pre-event form.
Together we can help build more inclusive and accurate public records.

Speakers
[edit]Ad Minoliti (Argentina, b. 1980) creates worlds where geometry becomes an insurgent language, traversing painting, design, science fiction, and queer theories. The artist reclaims geometric abstraction as a tool for political imagination, dissolving boundaries between human and non-human, organic and technological.
Ana Raylander Mártis dos Anjos (Brazil, b.1995) develops long-term projects with a focus on research. She seeks to establish a dialog between historical events and her biography, often recurring on the knowledge of education and writing. Her work is presented as text, document, installation, video, performance, sculpture, photography and objects. She is particularly interested in her Afro-Brazilian origins, the modern-colonial project and institutional critique.
María Belén Correa is an Argentinian trans activist, co-founder of ATTTA (Association of Transvestites, Transgenders and Transsexuals of Argentina), one of the most important transvestite and trans organizations in the country, and creator, in 2012, of the Trans Memory Archive.
