March 8 event to elevate women artists on Wikipedia
February 25, 2021
On International Women’s Day, Cornellians are joining a global effort to raise the visibility of women artists, writers, and performers on Wikipedia. Whether experienced or unfamiliar with Wikipedia editing, anyone interested in making a difference through research is invited to participate in the Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, conducted via Zoom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., on March 8.
For just half an hour or for the entire duration of the event, participants can edit or create a biographical entry or just a footnote, or help check facts or upload images, with guidance from members of Cornell University Library and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art who are co-organizing the edit-a-thon.

The artist Emma Amos died in May, at age 83, from complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. But even as her illness progressed, the painter, printmaker, and weaver was sustained by the knowledge that her seven-decade career was finally on the brink of her first retrospective, “Color Odyssey” at the Georgia Museum of Art.
“Emma always knew that she was going to have a show with me she might not have remembered my name at the last, but she knew that I was organizing an exhibition,” Shawnya Harris, the museum’s curator of African American and African diasporic art, told Artnet News. “That really touched me.”
