GLAM Wiki 2023/Program/Art+Feminism and Cultural Institutions at the Forefront of Media Literacy

ID: 2273
Facilitators/Speakers: Michaela Blanc, Paula Domínguez Font	Time block: Morning	Beginning: 11:30
	Location: Auditorium	Duration: 30 min
Description: In 2023, Art+Feminism completed its tenth year of operation. From its founding to today, the organization continues to work to decrease the knowledge gap regarding gender on the internet and art world while continuing to expand the visibility and knowledge about femme-identified artists in museum collections globally. This panel will contribute to discussions about and connect GLAM professionals to international efforts on the representation of feminism, art and visual culture on Wikimedia projects highlighting its potential societal impact on media literacy. The audience will learn from the unique perspectives of Art+Feminism’s Regional Leaders. In detail, this session will explore how museums and cultural organizations can broaden their efforts toward tangible actions to address access and knowledge equity through media literacy and inclusive learning programs. Providing foreground to this session, a case study about how the Caribbean Cultural Institute at Pérez Art Museum Miami, and Art+Feminism — “a campaign improving coverage of cis and transgender women, non-binary folks, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia” — were paired in the development of media literacy programs will launch the conversation into how museums can have an impact on younger generations and openly share museum scholarship online. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the implications of one of the largest online encyclopedias on art museums, libraries and organizations in different regions of the world. Participants will leave the session inspired to implement mission-driven innovative avenues for audience engagement, media literacy, and critical thinking through diverse art narratives in their institutions. We also hope participants engage in the A+F campaign, contribute to discussions and advance equitable practices around museum access and content development in their affiliated institutions.
