About the Wikipedia Project
As an artist who teaches art related courses such as art censorship, digital methods, Chicanx Latinx and Queer arts, I always include an art project component. During the move to Zoom teaching due to the COVID pandemic, it was often difficult for students to gain access to even basic art materials. Therefore, I began this activist research project after participating a wiki-thon program of the exhibition Printing the Revolution at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art as well as contacting Wiki Education.
